Another fun thing that PJ planned for Brianna's trip out here was a sprint triathlon. He and I participated in this tri last year, but for obvious reasons I was not competing this year!
This was Brianna's first triathlon and she had been training for it since coming home from her mission to Thailand in June.
One of the young women in our ward came with PJ, Brie, Avery and Alex and she watched the kiddos while the adults ran the race. It took place at Castaic Lake Park, where there are tons of playgrounds and grass and plenty of fun outdoor things to keep kids busy.
They swam 400 m in the lake, then rode 10 miles on the bike, and finished with a 5K run.
Here's Brie!!!! Coming in for the finish!!!
Look at those amazing triathletes!
PJ believes in starting our kids on triathlon young, so he set up a mini-tri for Avery and Alex later that morning. They swam three laps in a friend's pool, then Avery triked while Alex rode on the kid's seat on PJ's bike, then they each ran the last few blocks home.
They chose their race numbers: Avery's was sponsored by Yo Gabba Gabba and Alex's was sponsored by Toy Story 3
They received ribbons for completing the race. So cute.
I have a goal of doing the reverse sprint tri at the Rose Bowl in March. It will be a good "get back in shape" goal for me. Apparently we are becoming a triathlon family.
