The Triathelete



Kaedo took part in the Kids Of Steel Triathlon today. Can I just say we are so proud of him? He did awesome. He came in 31 out of 44 kids in his age group which I think is remarkable. He had to swim 150m, bike 10km and run 2km in 30 degree weather. He did not train at all aside from running the course once and biking it once. He was the only kid in his age group that rode a BMX bike. He just did awesome. He pushed himself so hard that when he finished the race, he puked! Craig says that is how you know you've worked harder than hard. It was great that Stan and Shirley were here as they got to witness his greatness and cover all the photo taking bases. The last picture is how I found him an hour after the race. Conked out on the couch. He recovered well though, and spent some of the afternoon/eve in the pool swimming his heart out.
A great way to spend a sunny Sunday in August.
