Just Tri

Sylvia participated in her first triathlon in August.  She thought it was funny that I had to wait till I was 34 to do my first tri but she was only 6.  Her swimming improved immensely during our family reunion when my aunt Linda spent time working with her.  I took her to the pool ahead of time so she could practice getting into the deep end and swimming where she couldn't touch.  We were so proud of her that day for swimming the whole length of the pool with touching the bottom or side.  The race included a 25 meter swim, .9 mile bike and 1/4 mile run.  Sylvia did great during her transitions which we practiced ahead of time as well.  Putting socks on wet feet can be tricky.  She was so proud as she finished the race and enjoyed celebrating with her cousin Katie who also raced.
