So, Mackendra's second x-country race of the year resulted in another Blue Ribbon (1st Place). And this time, her Mom and Dad were able to watch her finish the race.
At her first race, Mack also came first, but her Mom and Dad were not very well informed and were standing at the wrong finish line waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting....so....they missed it.
Good thing Mackendra didn't seem to mind that much.
The girl is a natural! I was standing at the finish line waiting for her to round the corner and happened to overhear some other parents...
"That little girl in the red who entered the trees first...she's a great little runner...she has great mechanics. You can just tell she's a good runner. Yup...there she is, out in front. What a great stride she has."
Made me day! I'm so happy that she is having fun and working hard. It is a bonus that she ended up with two blue ribbons. She has 3 more races this season. Hopefully they will all end with smiles.
