First Triathlon

On Saturday, September 10, there was a Kid's triathlon at the golf course in Shelley. John has really enjoyed long distance running, and he did well on the swim test at Scout camp this summer, so Amber talked to him and asked if he wanted to be in it. He was pretty excited, so we signed him up the next morning.

He didn't get to train for it at all since he had about 12 hours advance notice, but he did a really good job.

The triathlon consisted of: 100 meter swim, 3 mile bike ride, and 1.5 mile run.



His chain came off twice on his bike right at the beginning which put him back a ways, but he persevered and stuck with the race, doing a very good job.



He was in the same bracket with one of his best friends, Emily Rickabaugh...they both finished about the same time.

It was a very positive experience...we're really glad that he decided to do the race.
