This was the first TriKidz triathlon for this year! Me, Noah, Jack, Parker, Ben, Addie, and all the other Slapper’s, well most of the other Slapper’s did it too

Juniors: Distance- Swim: 100 yards, Bike: 3 miles, and Run: half a mile

Noah: Noah had a last minute change in mind! My dad rushed to get him a swim cap 30 seconds before the race. The swim cap wasn’t fully stretch out so the swim cap looked like a turkey! After that he ran to the starting line, all of us cheering for him. 5..4..3..2..1 and the horn blew he was off!!! With his swim time 1:47 he was off to transition 1. After transition 1 which took him 50 seconds he made an amazing flying mount onto the bike, and off he went into the distance to complete 3 miles! He got off his bike heading in to transition 2, his bike ride had taken him 14:06. He got out of transition 2 with a time of 24 seconds, with one last sport to do, running . He made it to the finish line in 21:35. He finished 3rd for boys age 9 and 5th overall juniors.

Jack: Unlike Noah Jack came prepared before the race had started. When the horn blew he was off: He finished the swim with a time of 1:47. Now it was T1, he got out of T1 in 57 seconds. After T1 he was on the bike, he mounted the bike a lot father than he needed to. On the bike he got knocked off by some kid. He finished the bike with a time of 16 minutes, now that he was off thew bike he went into T2, he finished with a time of 25 seconds and with one last sport running.
