Jackson's 1st Triathalon

Swim

Bike

Run

Proud finisher

Jackson participated in his first triathalon this morning and had a blast! At 5:30 am we woke up to drive to Peachtree City for the Annual Peachtree City Youth Triathalon. Jackson was so excited that he didn't even mind be awakened at such an early hour. He swam 100 meters, then rode his bike for 3 miles and ran 1/2 a mile. He looked like he was having a great time and was pretty proud of himself. It is such a confidence booster for kids to complete an event like this. He must have had a good experience because he has asked us when he can do another race. I am on the case and looking for more adventures!

The Boise YMCA sponsored the "Y-Not Try" Triathlon every year, and I participated in it several times as a teenager. The best year was when all five of us Dewey kids competed at the same time. Way to go, Jackson!
