Thanks to a friend, Mike and I got connected with the Special Olympics' summer games which were held in Richmond June 6-7. We had the extreme honor of escorting a group of 11 pentathletes to their various events, and even with the brutal heat we had an awesome time! Here are some shots from the days.
Jo-seth clearing the high jump bar.
Tony (in back) and Amir run for the finish line.
Carlos the kangaroo. This guy was awesome! He ran the 100 in 13.1 seconds, jumped 4'7" and won every event in the pentathlon.
This guy was last in his heat during the 100 meter race, but the crowd cheered as though he were the first to cross the line.
Katie (in back) and Abria head for the finish line.
Shakib, Danilo, Jonathan, Carlos and Michael - friends more than competitors.
