Triathlon

Jace saw pictures of our friends' kids on Instagram doing a toddler triathlon.  He said he wanted to do one also.  We signed him up for one.  The kids swam 50 yards, biked 1/2 mile, and ran 1/4 mile. He practice his swimming, biking, and running.  He had to use his puddle jumper and training wheels, but he was so cute.  He seemed to be a couple years younger than the next youngest kid (the age group went from age 0-11).  The younger kids got a 5 minute head start.  He was the last one in the pool while the older kids were waiting to go, and they started cheering for him.  It was very sweet.  I was proud of him because he didn't stop in any of the sections.  At the end, one race organizer commented that he smiled the whole time. He got a shirt and a free breakfast after (which he didn't eat). He also won a free race entry to any other race this next year. I think it is awesome that he set a goal and worked to meet it.
