It's that time of the year again folks! The Pole, Peddle, Paddle Relay race which takes place in Bend, OR. I can't say it enough...I LOVE this weekend of the year. I love this race! It brings in the die-hard professional athletes to the off-the-couch beer-leaguers. Team Ole & Lena were in full effect yet again. We also had a co-ed team and a mens team. I think there ended up being 20 of us that rented an amazing house in Sunriver to spend the long weekend in.
No joke...this house was fantastic. Perfect for the kids and adults, right on the river...complete with kayaks and a paddle boat to use.
Starra and Parker enjoying "popcorn movie night".
There was even a hidden little play room filled with toys and books. See the entrance for the kids?
Night before the race...planning logistics.
As we were driving up to the mountain to start the race it started snowing...and got cold! While we were waiting for the race to start we hunkered down in the chalet with hot chocolate and lattes.
He'll come cruising down the mounting, into a chute and off on the x-country leg!
I wasn't too sure how Asher would handle all the excitment and running/driving from leg to leg...but he was a champ and just went with the flow.
I love this pic of the tag off...check out that snow falling!
And she's off.
We got so excited screaming out the window at Annie that my camera man Ian, forgot to take a pic until we passed her. There she is, made it out of the snow!
There was about an 8k run that Annie did that we didn't get pictures of...but then she tagged off to Aaron for the kayak. Down river...then back up river. That's him in the red boat.
Made it to the end just in time to see Annie complete the sprint and cross the finish line.
Another successful race in the books! They took 4th place...no mugs this year but a goal to beat next year!
