My best friend Nathan just completed his first trail race --- the Karl's Kanoe 30K at Inks Lake State Park in Texas. I could not be prouder of my friend.
Nathan has done a sprint triathlon and a few other 5K races, but this was his longest run to date. He didn't even bother running a half marathon --- he jumped straight to the 30K (18 miles) distance!
He did a crash course of training the last several weeks and was ready to go.
Nathan, Jamie, Hami, and Krewe Krejci at the starting line
Coming in after the 1st 10K loop -- looking strong!
Coming in for the finish -- the kids are pacing Uncle Nathan!
The Finish!
Terrific Job, Nathan -- we are all so proud of you!And two days later, he's already signed up for his first marathon -- Mardi Gras in New Orleans. I told him it would be a walk in the park compared to Karl's Kanoe!
