Kids Sprint Triathlon
SWIM: 100 yards; BIKE: 2 miles; RUN: .75 miles
Our friends called us and asked if the kids wanted to participate in a triathlon. Without much hesitation, the kids agreed and waited with much anticipation for the event to arrive. Not having done a triathlon myself, I was unaware of a few details which ended up attributing to Madison's frustration with the whole thing. I forgot to tell her to untie her shoe laces when she took them off to swim. Trying to get double knots out of both shoes when feeling hurried added to the stress of the events. I also forgot Bailey had used Maddy's helmet days before so when Maddy put the helmet on her head, it didn't fit right and Maddy's felt like the helmet was choking her during the bike ride. After she finished the race, she broke down and was upset, not wanting to EVER do a triathlon again. She finally came around, and I am hoping she remembers the good parts about the day. They were all amazing, and I am so proud of them for being adventurous enough to give it a try.
