Triathlon

Kade and his cousin Riley participated in a kids triathlon this morning. It was so much fun, they had a great time and are excited about doing it again next year. Ty really wanted to do it, and we should have let him . There were kids on tricycles and the parents are right there next to them the whole time if they want to be. Next year Ty will do it as well. The time results they send to us by email says that Riley took 3rd in her age division for girls and Kade took 2nd in his age division for boys.Just after check in and getting their numbers on them. Kade was 144 and Riley 143


Kade and Riley's bike station where they dry off a little after swimming and put on their shoes and helmet to start the biking section. Rich is explaining to Kade where he rides his bike.

Kade waiting to start the race, we was an animal on the swim!

Kade passed a few people on the bike with his speedy riding :) This is his favorite this to do - swimming is a close second.

Running - not so much a favorite of Kade's - but he did great! He stopped and walked for just a little bit and then continued running the rest of the way.

Hooray for the finish line! It was cute - they actually had a big inflatable arch that they ran under for the finish line. They made this race very professional.

Everyone got a metal at the end
