I now understand that I've been missing out on a little of the wild side of life. Today we went to Kasey's cross country regional match in Waverly Iowa... let's just say I spent most of it walking around in amazement with my mouth hanging open. It was pretty wild... Not what I had expected. I was starting to think I was in Sturgis for the motorcycle rally!
It was so odd! There was this huge sound system blaring really loud music... People running around everywhere. Not even the people running in the race but everyone (except for me of course)! And 1/2 of these strange individuals running everywhere were so scantily clad I was blushing! Maybe that wouldn't be so shocking in the middle of summer but the temperature was around 50 degrees so all those young men and women running around in their skivvies... All I can say is it struck me as a little odd. Kasey said her own coach would tell them to get their clothes on.. That's a relief.. whew.. Kasey's too conservative to do something like that anyway.. Thank you god!
Here's Kasey before her race with her team. Note.. clothes are on! :-)
So here they are all lined up ready to go. The gals in black make up the Concordia team.
The gun goes off and it's like a stampede! There are so many running you can feel the ground moving a little. It's kind of cool. Ever see the buffalo stampede in Custer?? I'm just saying.... If you got in the way... it would hurt....
Kasey ran pretty well but unfortunately she's been suffering from a hip injury. It's nothing serious but she just needs some time off to rest a bit and let her body heal. She did have quite a bit of pain through the race and after the race the coach told me what a gutsy kid Kasey is. She did a great job. She ended up third on her team. She didn't have her best race ever but she made it to Regionals in her first year out... That's quite an accomplishment and I'm super proud of her.
After the race, Kasey had a hug for her old mom... That was nice. I haven't seen her for a few weeks so a hug was great.
Then Kasey got all iced up trying to get the hip to relax a bit. After the race we walked back to their camp site. Kasey showed me her new t-shirt she was quite proud of.

| Kasey! What a ham! :-) |
Kasey had her lucky talisman along with her. Kasey's kind of like her mom... a little different. Since she was a baby she's been into Dinosaurs... Here's her lucky charm for the day. :-) Kasey you goof ball!

It was fun to catch Kasey on her last race of the year. Kasey is up for a little time off and then will start her off season training already... She's a die hard! :-)
