Year two of the Kids Triathalon...Connor is about to get in the pool for 100 meter swim. He swims enough to get from one end of the pool to the other but has never learned strokes or breathing and really doesn't enjoy swimming...he'd rather run or bike... so he's very slow in the pool and he hates every second he's struggling to complete those 100 meters (think football field)...but he usually makes up the time lost on the bike and while running so he's glad it comes first...
His face shows he is exhausted from the swim but he's lightning fast in transition and getting excited to fly on his bike for one mile...
BUT...the volunteers made a mistake and thought he and his group were part of the 6-8 yr olds and stopped them after a much shorter ride...and sent them running...his strongest suit...usually allowing him to stretch out those legs and move ahead of many...but not today...again the volunteers stopped the group way short of the 1/2 mile mark...and he was disappointed...
HOWEVER...he learned the hard way to KNOW YOUR COURSE. He'll prepare better next time. All in all, it was fun and he got to once again be an honorary TEAM WHETSTONE GRANDKID...doesn't get much better than that!
(from L to R) Peyton, Connor, Owen, Hunter, Jackson, Olivia, and Hagin
Congrats Team Whetstone Juniors
