The "build better spuds" triathlon

We started our morning today by getting up to frigid 40° temperature for the kids to run in a triathlon. To make matters worse, the Shelley city pool had its heater breakdown earlier this week. So not only was it cold outside, but the water was only about 70°.

The kids all had great attitudes, however, each did their race with a smile on their face.

This was the first year that Shelley hosted a triathlon for kids. Our family, along with Ashlee and Brett and their family, made up probably about 60% of the contestants for the race.

The kids all had a great time swimming, biking, and running. And to sweeten the pot, Shelley city brought all these leftover medals, T-shirts, and toys from events that have been held previously. They were trying to get rid of it all so the kids pretty much were able to take whatever they wanted.

Those that participated in the triathlon were: John, Aliece, Alayna, Jace, Elyvia, and Gretchyn.
