Emma and Noah crossed the finish line yesterday to join Dad and Mom as official triathletes. With all the things Todd has going on, he manged to pull off a very successful event and we made it a family affair. This is the 2nd year he has put together The Iron Hills Youth Triathlon for our neighboring town of El Dorado Hills. He recruits participants by offering a one hour a day training camp all summer long. Most of the kids participate and then many others from swim teams or just all over the place also race. Emma and Noah do not participate in the camp or a swim team, but they wanted to try it. I thought maybe Emma would change her mind, or maybe not finish because she really was not prepared. She spent a lot of time playing in the pool this summer, but never got on her bike! I shouldn't underestimate the girl. She finished and can't wait to do the next one. (The funny thing is that she and Sadie both talked the entire race, even during the swim which I assume helped her get through it.) I had no worries about Noah. His age group had a much shorter race and he is so physically active I knew it would not be a problem. Needless to say it was fun and we look forward to Ready. Set. Go! Which is the next race Todd will put together in October for the City of Folsom.
