5K's and Tri's, Oh My!

Beginning with my eight year old son, TriBuddy, and his completion of his first 5k in a time of...

35 minutes and 50 seconds!

Considering that his longest distance race to date was one mile, he was quite pleased with himself.

But the fun doesn't stop there. Yesterday 'Buddy and KatGirl took up the challenge of the inaugural Blackland Triathlon.



Transition All Set

'Buddy finished third in his age group and KatGirl finished second. Woo hooo.... can you say hardware?!
