Summer is here! To kick it off I organized a neighborhood kids triathlon. We had about 40 kids ages 2-15 participate. It turned out pretty well for my first go at it and all the kids worked really hard and did a great job!
Jaxson ran across the little pool and rode his bike down the sidewalk then ran to the finish line.
His age group was so cute, it didn't matter if they were the first or last to cross the finish line, each one had a huge smile and they were thrilled to receive their medals!
Kendra swam to one side of the pool and then got out when she was supposed to swim back the the other side so she had to get back in and swim to the others side but she had olivia pulling on her so she couldn't get ahead. Kendra started crying. I had to calm her down so she cold bike. Kendra passed olivia on her bike lap around the neighborhood on the bike. There were no problems there and then with the running Kendy didn't see the path clearly and went the wrong way a couple of times, this made her a little frustrated. She got passed by a a couple of girls and she started walking and sobbing. She was worried that she wouldn't get a medal. She had Charlotte coming from behind so I told her she better run to the finish line. She ran and finished third. She was still crying uncontrollably that the race was too long and hard. I had to remind her that it was hard but she finished and did a great job! Her time was 5:47.
Kara had a flawless race and had to swim two lengths of the pool. She smoked her compition. Bike four times around the neighborhood (1 mile) and ran a lap around the field. She did great and came in first! Her time was 9:21
Tanner had to swim four lengths of the pool. He was strong and then biked 8 laps around the neighborhood (2mi) then run 1 mile. He did great! He got 1st with a time of 16:47
