Triathalon

A couple of weeks ago I took Gabe and Abby to the Old Fort Parkway for a triathalon (of sorts). They had to run, bike, and swim (actually running thru the sprinklers) down the sidewalk behind the playground. It was so much fun and a great experience for them to do something together.
This is Gabriel at the starting line.
And she's off!


This is at the winner's podium where they received their trophies. They were SO excited. They had no idea that they would be getting them.



This is a shot of them posing in their Small Fry Tri t-shirts. Even though Abby looks mad at the world, she isn't. She doesn't like to smile for the camera.
It was So much fun. We will definately be back next year.
(if a real triathalon involved running thru a sprinkler, I might, just might be able to do one!)

i've always wanted to take Ethan and Elena to this but it is always the same day as my triathlon. I'm glad the kids had fun. Maybe someday they'll join me for a triathlon!
