Autumn's triathlon


Autumn participated in her first triathlon yesterday. The event was purely for fun, no timing was performed, and every participant broke a finisher's tape at the end and got a blue ribbon. It was a blast. Here she is with her friends, Ashley and Ella and her cousin, Adilyn before the race.

Goggles, swimcap, and lifevest were donned before the 2 lap pool swim.


She did great during the swim, especially once she stopped trying to put her head underwater like she does during her swim lessons. It doesn't work with a lifevest on!

Daddy helped dry her off after her swim, get her sneakers on and then gave her instructions for the bike ride which was about a mile.

Next year Joshua can participate too.
She was smiling during the whole bike ride.
Making the turn into her run transition.
Great running form! :-)
Crossing the finish line!
One happy kid afterwards. What a fun, positive experience!
