Race day was finally here for the women on Saturday and then the men would run on Sunday....This is the starting line up for the women, we were there to watch all of our USA Team members and especially Barb Morgan....our friend from Pennslyvania.
On the way there, Chris and I were running to catch it and flip flops are not good to run on where there is nothing but cobblestone....I tripped and fell and busted my toe, peeling off some of the nail...I can tell you that it hurt really bad....just for documentation....it was right in front of the traffic and a car almost ran over me....so embarrasing....the crowd of people that witnessed me go down.
Barb coming past...we had a great view.
Next day, the men start off and it is raining so my pictures are not that clear when I didn't use the unmrella and I was freezing and shaking so hard.
This is Chris and the guy on the left is the Team USA coach Tim, encouraging to Chris to keep going and pick up speed, he was doing great on the run.
Chris got into a pack of men and was coming around the corner smiling and sticking out his tongue at me....I think if he can do that, he is not running hard enough.
Chris in transition getting onto his bike.
Getting ready to get on...unfortunately, he never finished, he flatted out aroundmiles out on his bike, later finding out he had ran over glass, flattening his tire.
This is Kyle, the Morgan's grandson who is 19, his first World Championship and he is doing really well.
We are finally finished with all of the Team USA stuff and are now officially on vacation...early tomorrow morning, we are leaving to tour Venice, so I have to get in bed, it is past 9pm here and Chris is getting irritated at me...so arrivederci for now....I will really have some good pictures after today....love you all.

PS. Ashley came to visit me today while Zach was at church...I really enjoyed her visit. When she called me to ask if she could come over, at first I thought it was you...I perked up in my chair and then said WHO IS THIS...she said Ashley I said oh I thought for a second it was your mom...I must have sounded a bit sad because she said, Oh I'm sorry!
MISS YOU! :-P
Sorry about the toe. No flip flops are not for running in. I feel your pain as I have been there.
Thanks for taking me on your trip through your photos. Have a great time and a safe trip home.
WAITING......I am waiting for another post! And I still don't feel sorry about your toe :-).
Stop touring and having so much fun and get to posting!
Love YOU!
Kim
