The ringers, i.e. Jake and Elijah, didn't show up so my decent time of 1:16:54 was good enough for the win. Jacob Howell and Josh were 2 and 3 and in the money. Highlight of the day was watching Josh and Charlie dart from the car straight through the start line because they arrived one minute before the kids' K. Josh even ran with the swag bag which ha to be a first. Overall another great showing at the Stampede. Amiee and my mom ran the 5k, Nicolai, Thomas and Charlie ran the kids' K and Josh and I ran the half. Most of the crew didn't stick around to see the half finish because they had to get to Weat Yellowstone to see the Argentina game. Luckily they won or else everyone would have been in a bad mood. Later in the day we crashed at our neighbor's cabin to watch the Netherlands/Costa Rica game because we don't have a TV. The Oranje won in a stressful shoot out. Even though most of us are of European descent I was the only person rooting for the Dutch. I don't think I can be blamed for that. I can't wait for the Argentina/Netherlands showdown in the semifinals.
