Friday Foto (a day late) February 6, 2010

Several months ago Caden competed in a triathlon. He practiced diligently for it by running and biking. We however do not have a pool, so he only got to swim once before the big event. (he is somewhat like his mother in that he cannot swim a lick, although he is not deathly afraid of the water like she is) He hoped for the best in that area figuring that he would make up for lost time with the biking and running. We got there that morning and set up his area. He headed over to the pool for some practice laps and ran into miniature Michael Phelps. Some of those kids looked like they had been born in the pool.
Here he is all set up and ready to go. Gotta get your game face on!

Ready to take off.


Biking his 2 miles.
Swimming was first, then biking. He knew he had a lot of time to make up with the bike and boy was he flying. He came in first on the bike! After he crossed the finish line for the running they announced the winners. Even though it took him twice as long to swim than everybody else, he placed 4th! We were all so excited for him.
