July 13 the boys had their regional track meet. It was about an hour east of our house. The boys could only do 2 events each, so Dylan did the 50 and 100 and Blake did the 100 and 200. We arrived at the meet around 9:45 only to discover that the meet from the day before had been canceled because of those bad storms so all those events that were supposed to happen the day before were happening that day along with all the other races already planned. We knew it would be a long day.
We saw Kaeler though and spent a lot of time talking him and his dad. His dad had to take some calls for work, so Kaeler hung out with us.
It was such a hot day so we stayed in the shade.
Here is Dylan coming out of the warming tent.
And then here he is waiting. They messed up on his heat, so he was left without anyone to race. Since it is regionals and everything has to be done officially, they took about 10 minutes to get him registered in a new heat. This was the slowest moving race ever--did we complain? sure did.
Then Dylan ran the 100.
Next Blake ran the 100.
After each race, they displayed your name and then time. The top 6 finishers in each group went to stake finals. Neither of the boys qualified, but that was fine because we knew we would be in CA anyway and wasn't planning on going.
Next Blake raced in the 200.
Regionals was where all the serious people were, so it was some tough competition, but the boys did fine. We didn't get home until 6:30pm, so it was a long day and the boys didn't complain.
