Athletics aka Track and Field

Racewalk
In the Olympics the racewalk has 20km and 50km events.In racewalking your leading leg must remain straight from when it hits the ground and you must always be in contact with the ground. We just did 200 meters(a down and back course). Holden was there to cheer us on at the midpoint.  I accidentally made the turnaround 10 meters early and had to double back and catch up. It was a close finish but I won. We were both out of breath at the end, mostly from laughing. I owe a lot to my dad for the gold medal I won from years of trying to catch up with him in airports and family outings. Thanks pops! 
Long Jump
Luckily we didn't have a tape measure so we don't have to embarrass ourselves with reporting our jumps. All that matters is that Nate took the gold! Gold medal count: Nate-2, Mindy-1, Holden-0.

Guess that's where Bryce gets it. All those times on campus trying to keep up with Bryce. He was walking, I was running. Thanks for the video.
