Hyrum's first race!

Usually, Hyrum is not the competitive type- I can't talk him into doing soccer, T-ball, even Karate class. He'd rather just do it on his own (Pretty sure he got that from me...) But, he finally agreed (with much persuasion) to do the BYU cross country Triple Crown 1 mile race!

It was kind of last minute, so it's not like he trained or anything. We didn't even think to bring water or have him wear shorts. But despite this lack, he actually did pretty well! He ran the whole mile in 10 minutes and 11 seconds, well, jogged, then sprinted, then walked then sprinted... But he finished in high style at the end! It was a great experience for him, I think.

Maybe just maybe this video will work and you can see him run on to the track and pass kids in his moment of sprinting- the video ends before he starts to walk again so just pretend like he ran the whole thing. :) Good job Hyrum!
