Heading up Suncrest.
This was brady before he headed up the alpine loop.
Cody and brady before the race started at 6:30 in the morning.
The big race is finally over and was much harder than anyone had expected. Even though it was extremely difficult brady pushed through despite his body not wanting to and finished the race. For those of you who don't know about the race it is called the 1000 warriors. It is a 96 mile race and an 11,000 ft climb. BRUTAL. It starts in park city and goes up and around jordanelle. It then goes down into midway and down provo canyon. The riders then go over alpine loop, Sundance and then up little cottonwood canyon. Again BRUTAL. Brady did really good and was able to push through the pain until about 1 or 2 miles up little cottonwood and then his body hit a wall. After some rest and walking he was able to get on his bike and finish the last two miles. We were all very proud of him and his brother cody who did the race with him! I don't have any pictures of him crossing the finsh line because I was walking up the mountain. Luckily his mother was at the top and got some pictures.
Dusty LOVES biking also, I keep telling him that I want a beach cruiser for my birthday but I think he thinks I will just slow him down. No races just yet but he has a goal to do one by the end of the year...it is a little to hot right now for that down here! Tell your hubby GOOD JOB!
