We did the Human Race again this year and had a great turn out! We had 25 people on our Dierzen Dinos team with people from school & their families. We wore the same Batman shirts from last year and made a few more too! It was Elliott's first race ever and she did a great job - she slept the whole time! Dylan got pulled in the wagon by all the boys - he had so much fun he wanted to "do it again" right after he finished! Shelly got 3rd in her again group (repeat from last year) so she got a medal!! Drew and Dylan had their picture taken by the Northwest Herald and were in the paper!

This was my first virtual race! Amy and I signed up because DUH it's a shark run! We had to run 5 miles - it was soooo hot so we took our time! :) We enjoyed some slip and slide and beers after! :)
I love doing the Woodstock Challenge! I got first place in my age group for the 10k woot woot! The Mock family all ran the 5k together and the kids did great! We loved going to the pool party after it was over - Dylan liked playing in the water!!
Holy cow this was a hard race!! Super hilly! I got first in my age group & Mom got second in her age group! (Josh got second in the whole race....whoa!!) Dylan also puked all over us when we were trying to take a family picture haha!
On February 7th we had a crazy race back in Lake Geneva and it was ridiculous! It was a small trail race but there was SO much snow on the ground that it was hard to walk it, let alone run! My time was HORRIBLE but I ended up being the 3rd girl overall and first place in my age group! Amy also won her age group! Shelly & Ryan were supposed to run it with us but they ended up getting really lost and couldn't make it. We all spent a little time in Lake Geneva looking at ice sculptures and going out to brunch after the race! Our fans were awesome!
Amy & I really wanted to do a trail race together before the year ended, so we signed up for this random race that we found online. It was called the Clear Water Outdoor Turkey Trot at Big Foot Beach State Park, WI. There were two options, 5k or 10k so obviously we signed up for the 10k because we are nuts! We had a huge work party the night before so we were struggling to say the least :)
We got to watch the 5k before we ran (there was a crazy dude who ran without shoes). It was a fun race, we ran nice and easy and talked the whole way. It was super snowy and icy, REALLY hard for me with my shoes. I realized that those shoes are NOT ideal for running in wet conditions OR on the trails. It was SO cold! We had to strip about halfway through because we were hot hot hot & the food afterwards was amazing! So many choices! :) Results:
I love this race!! It is at Woodstock North High School (so close to home) and my school always creates a team to participate in it! This year Dylan joined us - Laura was nice enough to walk the whole race with him in the stroller so I could still run! I ran the whole race with Amy and we kicked major butt! We went super fast & both placed in our age groups - I never thought that would be possible since there are SO many people that run/walk the race! Maybe it was because we were running where we run all the time - who knows?!
Jenie & Brock also came and ran the race with us :) Results:
