Gavin, the Great and Powerful

3rd place finish at Conquer the Village

Gavin has been going non-stop this year with participating on the Breakers Swim Team, earning a part in the Three Musketeers with the Old Town Playhouse, and on top of it all he figured he would do a mountain bike race. I missed it, as I was downstate doing a road race, but word on the street is that he did awesome. Conquer the Village was a race in Traverse City to benefit Hickory Hills. Gavin is only 12, and didn't want to do the kids loop that was less than a mile, so he signed up for beginner men ages 15-19. He got third place! When I got home he was full of stories about his race, which included falling on every lap of the three laps he did of the race. I am so proud of his determination!  Here is a clip of his finish that you need to see, because, as Gavin says..."THIS is how you finish a race!"
