My brother and I competed in the Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon this weekend. It was so much fun, but very challenging. 4 laps (100 yards) was kind of hard. I'm 7 now, so I was put in the 7-8 year old division. C'mon, I just turned 7! For some reason, the 6 and unders do 1 lap, but the 7s do 4 laps of swimming. What? Anyhow, I was able to use a kickboard and I did complete my 4 laps. Pretty good, eh?
Here we are watching the bigger kids go first....

Chatting it up with a new friend.
Swimming done.
Running barefoot in the parking lot?
Mom couldn't go in, so she's really really far. I had to dry myself, put shoes, socks on, shirt on, and
helmet too. Off to bike 2 miles.
Dropped off my bike and ready to get my laps done.
Sweet!!!!
My time was 28 minutes and 53 seconds! Woot Woot!
All done and so happy about it.
My friend Kaela did it too!
