Although a bit late, I will proceed to post this much awaited event, as much as I captured it the day of=)
:Saturday, the 18th of April......
My big bro Evan, and a friend Ivan Morgan, traveled down a
loooong, {approx. 15 miles}curvy, rock-filled, moccasin crawling, river. Evan has done the race the last three times. He came in 6th the first time, 4th the
second time, and now...
You have to finish reading the post=)=)

| Merchandise table |
 |
| The crowd that was there... Evan and Ivan had quite an audience! |
 |
| We food servers! {Photo credit: Anna Morgan=)} |
 |
| And you can see what I was doing! The reason I had two cameras was because one of the photographers, needed me to take pictures for her for a few minutes.=) |
 |
| Here they come! Team Impressive Courageous Superb! {ICS=)} |
 |
| Over the first log. |
 |
| Under the bridge... |
 |
| And over the second log! |
 |
| A friend captured this photo from a different angle... Love it! |
 |
| Look closely... See those feet dangling in the air? Yes, they're Evan's.=) |
 |
| Back in the boat, and no flips! |
 |
| Quick, grab the paddles.. |
 |
| And go, Go GO!!! |
 |
| And they made it!!! Actually, in just 2 hours, 14 minutes, and 10 seconds! =) |
 |
| They won paddles! |
 |
| Getting their picture taken.... And now, what place did they get??? |
 |
You can see for yourself... They won 1st place out of 44 other racers in their class! Great job Evan and Ivan!!! They were a great team, and now they get to move to Experienced class next year!
P.S. I posted 35 pictures on here, which is the exact combined age of these two...{19 & 16} |
Wow! Great job, Evan! And wonderful photos and narrative - it made me feel like I was there and was so excited at the finish line! May we all be encouraged to "run with endurance the race set before us" as these determined fellows did in this challenging competition. Thank you so much for the precious peaks into your lives. Love, Mrs. Jones
