We are so proud of Joey for completing his first triathalon. He started training in April and trained all summer long. Sadly, he had a fever and was really sick the whole week before the triathalon. We called the doctor and asked her what we should do...he had trained so long and the fever seemed to be really random. Some days barely there and other days as high as 104 degrees. She told us to ask him how he felt that morning and to make sure that he got plenty of water the night before, during and after the race. He did a great job and we are so proud!
We got up at 5:00 to get on the bus heading toward the lake by 6:30 a.m.
After getting body marked,
we headed to the lake. The first event is swimming and Joey was in the first wave.
Next up: biking. I can really tell in some of these photos that he was not his usual energetic self. This is one of those photos.
The final leg is the run.
Here he is crossing the finish line. Many kids got there and threw up or collapsed. (The first ones across the line.)
I'm pretty sure he was glad to be done with it, but he also said he wants to try again next year!
