Marathon Race Day!

 Got up at 5 for a run, then we ate eggs and headed to the course.  Adrienne and I and Lewis Jones family (he was on the team from around 2001) we assigned to the top of the final hill.  It was incredibly steep!  You can get details of the race in other ways, but at our spot, Conner was in 9th and Clayton was in 10th.  They were about 3 seconds apart.  We had so much fun cheering for them!

It's been so enjoyable to see Conner and Clayton train for this with so much intent behind everything they did to prepare.  I'm so happy for them with their great attitudes and focus on family, friends, faith, and being whom they should be!

After the race with Conner 8th and Clayton 9th, we went to lunch and then the Aquatic Centre to watch water polo.  After a very long walk to get to the entrance, we learned water polo is not in the Aquatic Centre.  We had a 45 minute train ride/walk to make it 15 minutes late.  We didn't miss much.  It was really fun to watch!  Italy beat Hungary for 5th place in the tournament, then Spain beat Australia for the Gold!  It was exciting to be at a final.  Nearly sold out and a fun environment.

This was pistachio and coconut gelato.  It's the best I've every had.  We'll have to come back to Paris someday to have some more!
