Tennessee Classic 2014

Yesterday, Peanut ran in the Tennessee Classic at Percy Warner Park in Nashville.  The weather was just about perfect, perhaps a few degrees too hot.  I do get nervous when the race starts still reliving his first race of the season, barely making it to cross the finish line.

Wasn't prepared for him to burst out into the lead as the wide start funneled down.  He did look great.  Then, I was less prepared for him to be leading as they approached the mile mark.  He still looked good.

The second time he passed, he was in the first pack but a few back.  That seemed like a better position for this mom to handle.

Here he is coming up the hill to the finish.  He still looks good, color in his face.  He might just finish vertical!

Peanut ended up finishing 6th.  I think is was close to a PR time.  He is hoping to break the 17 minute mark this season.  He even got a mention in the local Nashville paper.  The team ran well too!  They took second place.

This spectating stuff is exhausting.  It just wears me out!
