The weather was good for Youngest’s first Triathlon, it was sunny first thing but had clouded over by the time he started. His swim was obviously his strength and he did 400m in 00:06.52 which is slower than normal as they did not have anti-wave ropes in! He then jumped out of the pool and ran off to get on the bike.
He set off on the run but this meant that he was the last runner in but he did 400m Swim, 18k Bike ride and 5k run in 1:33.06 which is a good time and he came 362 out of 443! We are so proud of him carrying on after the difficulties on the Bike section and he completed it. He, of course, was not happy with his time but that’s a teenager!!!!!
Coming through the Finish line!
However I think I have a few more grey hairs after yesterday!!!!!
Friday night we had a good evening at the charity ball and they raised over £8,000 for the local Hospice. Saturday the swimming gala went well and they came third.
All in all a very successful but tiring weekend. Hope your weekend went well.

That is so scary when the kiddos don’t arrive when they are supposed to and our mom-imagination kicks into high gear!!! So glad it was just a technical difficulty!!! Busy weekend for you, for sure. I got to go to a bridal shower on Saturday for my future DIL and everyone seems to be looking forward to getting this wedding over!! Weddings seem to bring out the best and the worst in people, that is for sure. Glad I’m rather on the sidelines from now on!!!
