Youth Triathlon

We are so extremely proud of Jack and Caroline for completing their first triathlon today! The interest began a couple of months ago when a group of us were talking about races and out of the blue, Jack and Caroline asked if there was a kids triathlon. I did some research and asked a few folks who we know that have kids who race and found a few races for the remainder of 2011. When we told them about today's race, they both committed to training.

The Youth Triathlon they did today required them to swim 50M, bike 3miles, and run 1mile. They both did a FANTASTIC job and we told them not to focus too much on what place they come in, but rather focus on finishing. They did just that!!!

In their age group (8-9), there were 9 girls and 3 boys. We think Caroline came in 5th or 6th and Jack came in 2nd place. We hope this race sparked an interest in doing more races. It was a lot of fun. Special thanks to Pops & Gigi, little sister Lauren, as well as the Huff family for making it out this morning to show their support and cheering Jack and Caroline on. It was a great morning. Way to go kiddos, Mommy and Daddy are SOOOOO Proud!
