Tolbert's: PC Point 2 Point

For the past few years on Labor Day weekend Brian has done the Park City Point 2 Point Race. You ride 78 miles while gaining 14,000 vertical feet of climbing all in trying to beat the cut off time of like 7 pm. Hello, that is asking you to do this in under 12 hours! This is not a normal man's race and this year proved to be no different. The day started at 4:30 am as Bri and a few of the guys got up to eat and prep. At 5 am the thunderstorms rolled in and by 5:30 it was a complete downpour! The race was delayed an hour and a section was removed. But yes it still went on. The weather was off and on cold / hot, windy, rainy and by the time he finished another round of crazy thunderstorms came in. I'm so proud of him for sticking it out, luckily having no mechanical issues and beating his time of last year. With a finish time of 7 hours and placing 2nd in his group I'd say the day was a success. I wish that I could say we got to see him a lot and cheer him on but on these big endurance races, that's not how it goes. The girls and I packed up and hung out at the Park City Resort feed zone and for the 2 mins we saw him, his chain got lubed, we switched out his camel pack, said good job and keep up the fast legs. That was it until we saw him 2 1/2 hours later at the finish. The girl's enjoy going to races and love to cheer on their dad.

Waiting so patiently for their dad. Don't worry, Waycee was there too. she was hanging out in the hippie wrap on my chest.

It's hard to tell, but Bri is the rider just to the right of the white flag. I'm so glad he invested in a bright helmet, it made it easier trying to spot him. Not too mention, dealing with 3 kids I was lucky to get any pictures.
