I am not sure that Joel has ever done a race outside of school. Back in November his buddy was going to sign up to do a 10K with the Drake Road Races. Joel was game and I signed him up. Fast forward and they cancelled the 10K to decrease numbers or something Covid-related. The boys had the choice of switching to a 5K or a 1/2 marathon and they chose to run the 5K. Earlier this week we found out that the races started at 7am and they sounded less fun. Especially since Joel had 3 soccer games and 2 show choir recordings this weekend. More stuff than many many months in 2020. They staggered the start (50 people at a time and the runners had to wear masks until they got into a socially distanced position and after finishing the race. All spectators had masks. Felt pretty safe.
He and his 2 buddies from Cross country took 1st, 2nd and 3rd in their age bracket which was pretty cool. I love this photo since Joel and Evan seem to be having fun. The start was uphill, so that probably ended pretty quickly.
