Triathlons have really become a way of life in our family. My brother Scott decided that he wants to start a new tradition. Every weekend before the IRONMAN he is going to put on a race for the kids. As you can see, nothing is ever done simple in my family. They had matching shirts and my mom made them matching hats. Scott got to my house early and started the day by marking the streets, setting up cones, and even giving each kid their own transition area. As the kids arrived he marked them up with their numbers and they each even had laminated numbers to pin on their shirts. They started off with doing a few stretches and then the pledge to the flag. It was so cute. Then off to the swim. Each kid had to do laps in our pool. The number depended on how old the kid was. Then off to the bike portion. They all worked hard. Holly even made the cutest aid station for them to get drinks, bananas, oranges. etc. Totally adorable!!!! They ran a few laps and each got to run to the finish line and break the ribbon!! They each received a medal. Then off the the park for a pizza party and awards ceremony! Scott presented each kid with a certificate of completion. It was a great day!!!!
