I married an amazing athlete....


Mr. Kris is a crazy man....



he rode his bike from
Logan, Ut
to
Jackson Hole, WY.


yep,
you read that right.

All 206 miles of it.


I couldn't be any more proud!


Kerianne, Jake and I were the
SUPPORT CREW....


Kris was teasing us saying he wasn't going to count on us being at any stop
because we ALL THREE have a horrible sense of direction.

We ended up doing pretty well
chasing my hot little peddler
&
We didn't miss one of his feed zones...
although there were a few close calls :)

I am so glad that KeriAnne and Jake came along
12 hours of crazy driving madness wouldn't have been as fun without them
Plus,
I wouldn't have been able to sneak in the naps that I did
nor
learn of all the crazy drama of their high school days!
Sheesh! lol










Driving the full course made me realize just how
HUGE
of an accomplishment it is to finish this beast of a race.
It was such a steep and long course.

Every stop he looked great and not completely exhausted as I had expected.
We would get to the feed zone, then...
  • Scramble to grab his cooler of goods
  • Get his ENORMOUS red bag of gear
  • mix all of his drinks
  • Wait for the cutest biker on the course to peddle by
  • When spotting him yell and scream til he saw us
  • Pass off all he needed
  • Run back to the car
  • Off to the next stop!

It was an exhausting day....
I think by the end we were more hashed and tired than Kris!
SERIOUSLY!
We are such lazies! lol

He looked like he could have kept on riding...

Have I mentioned how cute he looks on his bike?



On the way home Kerianne and I were determined to do some photo ops at the state lines...

the boys weren't really all that excited about the idea.
We did weasel a few timer photos out of them
:)





&
you can't go to IDAHO and not buy a lottery ticket...
Sadly we walked away empty handed.
Maybe next time Mr. Kris.

It was a great trip and experience.
I am glad it is all over though....
I get my husband back!

No more training....
HOT DOG!

That is amazing. I tried to peddle a bike down my block the other day and was totally winded. I am impressed. It must have been the great support he has :-)
