Just before and just after the race.
We're in Vinalhaven for the week and stopped in to the library on this rainy afternoon. Our fans have been asking about Neil's big race. It was exciting and wonderful. The weather was sunny and held until just after he finished (at which point it started to hail), he bested his time by about 20 seconds and came in 103rd out of 600 entrants and Grammie Robin got to see him do it and was as impressed and moved as I am each year I see him complete this amazing feat. Yes, he's incredible. I get a little worked up when I'm waiting at the top and very excited when we finally spot him, so I wasn't able to get a good photo of him racing (I just caught the tip of his helmet) but I got some photos right after he finished. Here are the official results. I'll be posting photos of the race and more about our vacation (and particularly the incredibly beautiful, love soaked day that was Kali and Jen's wedding) after we get home next week.
Thanks everyone for asking about Neil's race and being proud of him. Now the question is, will he do it again next year?
