Kids Triathlon

Today was the big day the kids had been waiting for.  Last weekend we "trained" for a triathlon, but today we did the real thing.  And boy did we have a good time.  It was the Kids Tri 4 Kids' 5th year.  http://www.kidstri4kids.com  Hailey was one of 25 kids who have done the Kids triathlon each year. 

Wendy took the kids on Saturday for the kit pick up and registration.  They had face painting there and Zach got a ninja turtle while Alyssa was a beautiful butterfly.  They got their body markings and picked up their bigs and race information. 

We had talked to the kids about how transition was going to go with placing their bikes and all their gear to be put on at each transition.  They were ready!

Zach was so fast on the bike, that all we got were pictures of him getting on his bike and this one of him zooming past us!

All smiles!!!

Triathlon practice

The kids are doing a triathlon next weekend so we thought we'd give them the opportunity to practice transitioning.  We hosed them down with their bathing suits first to get them wet.  Alyssa has to do transition by herself, so she definitely needed the practice.  Even though it was no where near the distance they'll be doing next weekend, they sure did have a blast and were eager to cheer each other on!
