Beat the Back Baby!

Here I am bragging about Zach again! I just can't help it, he rocks!
Friday and Saturday he ran the Wasatch Back and did awesome! They started Friday at 2:00 PM and finished Saturday just before 7:00 PM. It makes for a long two days for the runners (and their supporters) and also a good challenge!
The race course is from Logan to Park City, 180.5 miles to be exact. Zach's total mileage of the race was 17.4 miles. He felt good about his race. He hurt his knee during his second leg, which was a bummer. So the rest of the race was finished because of his determination. He did awesome! It made for a long couple of days but memories to last a lifetime! We had a great time and are so proud of him!
The slide show is really only a few of the pics I took! I was a little camera happy I think! The race was super fun but we also enjoyed our time at the park in between his last leg and the finish line. The boys enjoyed the tree. We all enjoyed the shade and time out of the car! Thanks Gramme, Oompa, Solomon and Luke for coming with us!
Way to go Zach! You're an inspiration!
