A whole bunch of Lunds raced the St. Peter Halloween Fun Run today. Everybody finished the whole 5K, and all the parents, kids and grandparents were amazing! The race was a lot of fun, but I didn't bring any recording devices to prove it. Once we got home we took some pictures of the best finishers in town.
Here's the whole group, still standing.
We broke up into teams before the race started. The (unofficial) winner was this guy:
He didn't register, though, so all he gets is a moral victory.
The official winner of the Lunds was the short guy in this picture:
He beat me by about a foot. I just couldn't catch him at the end.
Koleman was in a team by himself, and came in shortly after Kelson and I.
The next group, hot on Koleman's team, was a dangerous cat and dog team:
Every good train needs its caboose, to make sure no stragglers get lost along the way. Grandma brought a clown for a walk/jog, and they finished in style, with a crazy sprint to the finish line.
Here's a re-creation of the entire race:
And some ... candid photos. Michelle and Eli caused some problems on the course with their dog-and-cat games.
Dog in the air!
Proud finisher!
Strong finisher!
Action shot!
This was how close the finish was between Kelson and myself. Next year I'm going to shove him over and beat him!
All pirates are dangerous with their hooks.
We didn't realize how many people would be running with crazy outfits. It was definitely a fun run. I'm guessing next year we'll prepare more and have a cool team costume. It'll be awesome.
