LOTOJA

... 206 miles
3 states
10 hours
Aaron did great on his first LOTOJA race. His raced the 3rd leg...47 miles over 2 mountain passes and 50 mph descents. His team, Muddy Waters, road into Jackson as a team to place 10th in their division. It was such a fun experience for all, racers and chasers included. thanks to my wonderful family who came and supported him. and a special thanks to my brother Dave who drove so I could attend to the kids, who were really good considering they were strapped into their car seat for almost 10 hours (thank you modern technology). It so great to see Aaron doing something he loves. I was grateful he wasn't hurt. can't wait to drive the support vehicle next year and cheer him on as he races the entire thing.
