One More Race

Darien was registered for two more races. Sadly, he didn't finish this one and the next one he was not able to go to. Darien was pretty excited about racing again and the word out there was that he was the one to beat. It was a beautiful morning for a race so we were all there to cheer him on.
He took off at the start and went up over a rise so we went to the finish line to cheer him on. As the first runner came past us and it wasn't Darien we were a little surprised but thought he would one of the next ones, but by the time we got the the 10th runner going past us we knew something was wrong so Jamie and I started walking us the course. Just on the other side of the rise we found Darien with one of the race officials crying holding his ankle. Sadly, he went over on it and the result was him being on crutches for the next 2 weeks, if you know Darien very well this was a slow torture, he is not one to sit around and the lack of mobility was awful for all of us. LOL It was very frustrating for Darien but he has recovered now and can't wait to race again.
