Last weekend Owen competed in the Carson City Kids Triathlon. I have been training for a sprint triathlon to be held this fall, so Owen was stoked to participate in his own race. He was in the youngest age group where parents were allowed to assist throughout the event. This is what he did: 25 yard swim, .4 mile bike and .4 mile run. It was seriously the cutest event I've ever seen and Owen was super excited about it!!! For several days after the event he kept asking to do another triathlon.
Here are all the 4-6 year olds getting prepped before their race.
And here's the swim line-up.
Owen can't swim very far by himself, so I assisted him in the pool.
This was the transition station.
Putting on socks and shoes for the bike portion.
Micah rode this portion with Owen, and this was by far his best event. Most of the kids his age are still using training wheels, so Owen was able to bike much faster.
As soon as the bike race was over, he took off running! Look at that determination!
He took off really fast, but soon slowed down. The run was a little far for him, but he did it (with a little encouragement).
Almost there......
And he got a medal at the finish line.

I am so proud of Owen for finishing the race. I think it's safe to say I have a little competitor on my hands.
