Trichicks/Mini Trikids

The Trichicks/Mini Trikids race finally happened this weekend after being postponed due to Typhoon Merkot. For me, it was a 200m swim, 5K bike and 1K run. I'm happy to say I finished it (3rd place in my age group) and I didn't come in last. Whoo hoo!

Getting briefed before the race.

My friends and I who raced right after the race. Me, Crista, Ali, Wendy, RuthAnn, Susan. Way to go, ROCK STARS!

Noah, Marcus and Ben warming up. They were soooooo stinkin' cute.

More warm ups---push ups, squat thrusts, jumping jacks, break dancing. The usual warm up.

Getting ready to begin the swim portion. The kids race was a 25m swim, 400m bike and 100m run.

Noah swimming.

Ben swimming (with the aid of a kickboard).

Noah biking (note how small his bike is compared to the girl in front of him).

Noah running.

Ben coming round home stretch.

Gotta cool off after a long, hard race.

Noah getting his ribbon. Way to go, boys. You did awesome. They loved getting a number on their arm just like they've been watching Rob and I do at the aquathons and being part of the competition. They had to wait around for about 3 hours between check-in and the two races that were ahead of theirs, but they did great and we are so proud of them for giving it their best. It was a really fun day.
