It's amazing what happens when you download pictures from your camera. This is the problem with digital camera's, you take pictures and never download them.
In mid June, Erin entered the Hershey's Kids Track and Field race in Parker and won the 400m. She automatically qualified for the State Finals in Ft. Collins, which happened to be the same weekend as Rist Canyon Road Race in Ft. Collins. We were going to be up there anyway for the bike race, so why not make it a really busy weekend and do both! The Gordon way for sure!
Erin ended up placing 5th (I think) in her heat of the track race, and then headed over to Horsetooth reservoir to ride in the 14 mile, 3500 ft. of climbing Jr. Road Championship race. She was not too happy about all the climbing involved, but she did it and once she got over the major climbs she did great on the way in-even out sprinting her mom to finish line!
After 2 days of major racing, I told Erin that I would ride her race with her and chaperon the younger kids during the race. Nothing like a little more climbing! I think we had a total of 11,000 ft. of climbing and I added on another 3500 ft. when I rode with Erin! Yikes-I guess good practice for Mt. Evans!
