My Triathlete

Words can not describe how proud I am of Ryan.  He competed in his first Kids Triathlon! Swim, Bike and Run! SO so proud of my guy! He did awesome!  He started out with the swim, not his strongest event but he persevered and completed that leg without a hitch.

Next he ran from the pool to the bike area and put on his socks, shoes and shirt. No parents allowed!  Get his bike out and put on his helmet and off he went.  This was his best leg, he loves biking.  Next they had to walk their bike back to the transition station and put bike and helmet up and then he was off for the run.

He had to run 3 laps.  He got a stomach cramp about 1 1/2 laps in, his dad went over and had him wash his mouth out with water and ran along side of him until the finish.  So proud that he pushed through the cramp and completed his first triathlon! 

His best buddy, Alex also competed as well.
