This was the 10th year for the
Share A Smile Triathlon and Jeremy's fourth year and McKay's, Jaxon's and Josh's first year participating in the triathlon. The boys did the kids' triathlon and Jeremy relayed with Weston. Jeremy swam and ran and Weston did the bike portion.
Here they all are tattooed (with a permanent marker) with their numbers ready to go.
First the boys had to swim one lap in the pool. Here is McKay.
Jaxon swimming his little heart out.
Josh was doing just fine in the pool until he noticed that his brothers were way ahead of him. Dr. Vogel (head of the triathlon and a good friend of ours) helped him the rest of the way across the pool.
The next portion the boys had to ride one lap around the park. Here is Jaxon taking off on his bike.
McKay making his quick get away.
Josh departing, only we didn't know that his bike was in disrepair. His chain had fallen off his bike.
Here is Kayden watching the boys during the race. He brought his scooter along so that he could have some fun too.
Here is Josh coming to the running portion. We couldn't figure out why he took so long. He told us he had to push his bike with his feet. Poor guy!
Jaxon dropped his bike and ran! This was serious stuff!
McKay did the same.
McKay after he crossed the finish line. He said the race was too easy--and he was right. Much too easy for a 12 year old.
Josh didn't have very good luck on the race, just as he came to the finish line his shoe came flying off. He lost one of his tennis shoes so he had to run in his sandals.
Next was the BIG race. Here are the boys cheering on their dad in the pool.
Jeremy didn't do any prep work for the swim section of the race. But he made it--even though he felt pretty crappy when he got out of the pool.
Tagging Weston so Weston could take off to do the bike portion.
Midway through the race, Kayden got grumpy. He decided to sit at the curb and pout. I don't blame him. We had to get up before sunrise to get to the race on time.
McKay and Kayden helping Dad stretch out so he would be ready to run.
Weston coming in on his bike.
Jeremy crossing the finish line to complete the race. Whew! It was a great year and we all had a good time. One of these years perhaps I will join in on the fun.

I just have to say that I'm proud of Josh for sticking it out! How many other people would have just given up?
