My First Triathlon

Getting "marked" for the swim leg of the race.
Elise was so exited.

I was in heat seven with other ten year olds and one eleven year old.

Getting ready to swim.

And no it was not two feet it was twelve.

I dried off and changed for biking.

Then me and my strange helmet someone lent me were off on the two mile bike ride. on that bike ride I passed all of the people my age but two.

And I was determined to pass the one closest to me.

And I did not give up until I passed him for second place.

Then finally my dad and I ran a half mile.

I passed the kid in first and felt like I was going to pass out. My dad and the crowd encouraged me to keep going.

And I finished 1st in my age group!

I was exhausted...

...but happy.
