Kids Triathlon

Each year on Labor Day weekend my family participates in our own "Lombardi Cheapskate Half Marathon". The kids are always there and wanting to participate, but never get to. So this year we talked about putting together a kids' triathlon for them. Well, this Saturday that talk turned into action and we had our first Kids' Triathlon. It was so much fun and the kids all had a blast.

They were split into 3 age groups - 6 to 10 years, 3 to 5 years, and almost 2 to 2 years.

The older age groups did .5 mile bike ride, .5 mile run, and 2 laps in the pool.

The middle groups did about .2 mile bike, .2 mile run, and one lap

The youngest rode/scooted around the playground once, then ran it, then one lap.

Here are all the happy participants (plus two babies)

Older group

Sara during her bike ride

(Notice no more training wheels. This was a long time coming but she is a pro now.)

Her lap swim (wonderful aunt Trina helped her. I wasn't about to get into a swimsuit yet)

We didn't get a picture of her run and I didn't see her, but I hear she did awesome.

The middle-agers

Evan's bike ride (still working on the training wheels)

His run

For some reason the young boys in the family like princesses and pink so cousin Blake got to use Kamri's scooter. But she was happy with his Spiderman.

It is the cutest thing to watch her run. ONE arm swings back and forth as she runs. Look at that smile.

The finish line.

Afterward we had a nice picnic (of course, we're Lombardi's) and Cameo handed out darling certificates to them They were so proud. Evan wanted his hung on the fridge. Thank you Cameo and Jeremy and Cassie for planning it.
