JUSTIN'S VERY 1st KIDS TRIATHLON!

Okay, so a couple months ago Justin told Joe & I he wanted one of us to get up with him before school to start running because he wanted to start training for a triathlon!! HUH?!?!? was our response!!! We don't know where he gets his athleticism from, certainly not us! My idea of excercise is DRIVING to the local Starbucks and DRINKING a venti mocha while CHATTING with my friends!!!! Anyways, we saw a sign last weekend for a Kids Triathlon this weekend in Davis and he wanted to do it! No, he had not started his "training" yet but he did a great job! The whole triathlon process was a bit overwhelming at first to me! He first started out with a 75 yard swim, had to go to the transisition area where his bike, helmet, shoes, shirt were waiting for him, took off for a 2 mile bike ride, back to the transistion area to drop off the bike & helmet and off on the last leg a 1/2 mile run! Despite waking up with head to toe hives (uuggghhh....) and being the 3rd to last to finish the swim portion, he made up for time in the bike ride & run and ended up placing 56th out of 276 kids! We were very proud of him! He did a great job! He finished the whole race (start of swim to end of run including the transistion stops) in 20 minutes 08 seconds! He is looking forward to his next one and will know what to expect next time!!!
