Sorry for the lack of posts! I am sure everyone got the good updates from the other awesome bloggers. I will spend time when I get home writing the stories and posting the photos as usual.

It is our 3rd year getting 3rd overall in class and last year we were 29th overall so we are doing the slow crawl up, which is what we do. The guys in our class ahead of us were way up there - 5th and 11th overall - so it is fun to run with the big dogs!
