Race 2

Ellie was excited for the second race in the series.  This time she wanted to see what it was like to start at the front.  We walked to the starting line before the general announcement and Ellie was able to see all the lead runners line up.  Our deal was that she needed to run at the start and not slow down until the path widen otherwise she would hold up many other runners. She agreed and jumped in the first group behind the superfast runners.  She did amazing, even on the super-hot day and finished in 13:06.  1:13 better than race one, with her second lap being faster than her first and her fastest time on the course!
