Behind the Rocks Ultra

Carbo-loading the night before

And they are off.

I am sorry to report that Leo had a terrible race.  We are not going to say any more, except that he did finish the race, is not injured, and will go on to race another day.

Even "elite" athletes can have a bad day:

Update:  To add insult to injury, Leo checked the results for the race and he is listed as "Did Not start."  He will be contacting the organizers - We have pictures of him at the start!
