My Tri Boys!

When do I get to do a triathlon Gita? This is what I heard for years at the finish line of my Lifetime Fitness triathlons. Well, the boys have grown and I signed them up for it this year. No training, just complete confidence in themselves and their ability to do it. 
I packed their bags and the car, prepared them mentally for the race and what to expect and they did the rest. Alexi (13) was to swim 100 meters in a pool, bike 5 miles and run a mile. William (10) did half that distance. They both came with smiles, great energy, and a positive can do attitude (hmmm......wonder where they got that from?).

At the finish line they had smiles, but realized it was harder than they thought...when you put all that together, it's different than running a 7 minute mile in gym class.  Nonetheless, they're charged up and in the game. Onward and forward. Pretty soon, they'll be passing me at the finish line!

Go guys!
