I do like to blather, so i'm trying to break my ramblings up. At least I'll be able to follow them. Not sure about anyone else.
After the race on Sat it was back to the campsite for yummy sandwiches, a shower and a nap before we got to see the Timber Kidd-o's Tri. They were having the kid's triathlon at the campsite we were at so it wasn't too far to venture. The kids swam 100 yards, biked 1.5 miles (including a decent hill) and ran 0.5 miles. They started the kids almost one at a time, spacing them a few seconds apart from eachother. Which was good, then they didn't have to attempt not to drown in the chaos of a swim start. It was great to watch the little colored caps swim across the pond. Grab their bikes and off they went. The kids had racing chips, and body markings. What was great was that all their race numbers were "1"...even though they had other numbers on their bikes and body marking. I saw some kids with better bikes than I have. A few aero bars...I did see a full on tri-bike too. I think some of these kids should have been doing the sprint. The age range was from 6-13. The six year old did the bike in tandem with her dad which was super cute...and there was a tiny little guy who was 7 years old. It was the sweetest race and so fun to watch the kids running styles and the gusto they gave the race. So many different running styles, it was awesome.
Start'em young, and get them hooked EARLY.
