Triathlete

 Alex completed his second triathlon last weekend.  He was excited to do it and we could not believe how fast he did it this year.  Just goes to show that the right size bike can make the cycling part go super fast and the running that follows the biking much easier since you didn't use all your energy to pedal a little 12 inch bike.

Cheering section waiting for the start

Ready to swim!

This organization has tons of lifeguards in the pool for the swim portion.

First transition. Swim to Bike. "This helmet feels funny. Oops. I have it on backwards."

Alex's buddy Marko participated again this year too, and he got first place of all the five & six year olds.  Alex placed 8th among the 50+ five & six year old boys. We learned a few tips from Marko's success.  Don't waste time putting a t-shirt on after the swim, and have sneakers that don't need to be tied.  Peter & I think Alex added 2-3 minutes to his time just in the transitions.

Campbell was running around with us from swim to bike to run to cheer on her brother.

All done

Proud sisters. Hopefully, next year we can convince them to participate also.
