A while back, while on our way to Palm Springs Drew was racing in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Indoor Championships in Seattle. This is the Pac 12 Championships plus a few more schools.
He was racing the 5000M on a 300M indoor track.
We were hoping to stream it live as we were driving, but David's IPad would not allow live streaming. We were truly bummed and did not have much time to figure out a back up plan.
David quickly called Danielle and told her to get it online and give us a play-by-play over the phone.
Poor girl was home alone with Harrison trying to get him down for the night! LOL
She did get him down and we were off.
I was driving through the middle of downtown Sacramento at rush hour when all this was happening at dusk. What a hilarious combination.
So being a runner herself, Danielle was able to give us good play-by-play as the race was progressing because she is knowledgeable.
David kept interrupting her to tell her who the other runners were--it was kind of fun listening to the way they were bantering back and forth.
Then as things progressed they both were getting so excited and David kept grabbing my arm. I had to keep reminding him I was still trying to drive!
Then as Drew passes everyone Danielle just starts screaming he is in the lead, he is in the lead---David is hanging on every word.
Then Danielle says they are coming, they are coming.
Then just yelling....
David is about to pass out in the car, because Danielle is so excited she forgets to tell us who wins!!!!
Wow, what a way to hear about an amazing race.
So Congratulations Drew on being the 2013 MPSF Indoor 5000M Champion!
We are very excited for you.
Oh and we did get to see it about an hour down the road when it was posted online.
So here it is if you would like to see it.

Love the word picture of you trying to drive . . . David screaming in excitement . . . Danielle too excited to tell you that Drew won. I can picture our family doing the exact same thing. :)
