Girls' First Triathlon

We were at the Y on Thursday and we saw a sign for the Kids Kiwanis Triathlon and I asked the girls if they wanted to do it and they both didn't even hesitate and said YES!  So we went over all the distances and practiced once or twice each event at home and they were ready.

They did so great - after a rocky start as I got them there 10 min before the race started.  You would think I know better...  Justin and I both were nervous for them.  Anyway, off they went... 50 m swim (1 lap up and back), 1 mile bike and .25 mile run.  Taylor got 3rd in her age group and got a trophy and Aubrey got 5th in her age group.  We are convinced we can shave time easily if we get them shoes that don't need to be tied.  I loved watching them do the triathlon and they seemed to have fun!  They both said they would do it again!!!
