Triathlon day

Yesterday, three of the Fast Four competed (rather, they participated - this is all about fun, not winning) in their second triathlon . And again, it was a really fun event. L-man was out of the running due to his recently stitched up head. This was the first time for Chuckles, however, who competed in the 3-5 year old category. Hilarious. Check out this adorable competitor:

In hindsight, the bathing cap (supplied by the TriGator committee) was not the greatest idea. In the transition zone, I ripped it off his head to help put on his helmet, and made him cry. Bad call, triathlete mother. He seemed to cheer up after hopping on to his trike and ran his heart out to the finish line, again, looking adorably cute. (is that redundant, to say "adorably cute"? But he really was!) 

His sisters had their work cut out for them, both competing in a higher age group, which meant more swimming, longer biking and running. M-cat has just figured how to bike on two wheels, but bike she did, with no mishap, which I think gave her a big confidence boost. G-force, who seems to thrive on all things competitive in nature, had a so-so swim, but proved to be a biking powerhouse, (it's not easy to watch the bike part, but she made good time) and finished her run, cramps and all, with a smile on her face.

The best part? Post-race freezies, of course.

Until next year!
