A few weeks ago the boys’ school sponsored a duathlon — a swim/run for all ages. Each of the boys and Josh participated in their own age bracket. Camille and I were cheerleader and sports photographers for the day.
Getting ready to watch Daddy swim
It wasn’t a competitive event so they did a rolling start.
After Josh’s swim we followed him out to the transition area to see him off on the run portion, not realizing that as soon as the adults finished swimming they moved right into the next age bracket. So I missed Calvin’s swim, but I caught him on the run.
Calvin finished second in his age group (it may not have been a competition, but they were keeping track!)
I made it back to the pool in time to catch Carter’s swim (by the end of it all I felt like I’d run my own race, especially trying to get from one place to the next with Camille on my hip!)
Carter in the pool — his age group swam 100 meters
Heading out to run — Carter finished near the top of his age group too.
Caleb’s age group lined up. 7&8 year olds swam 50 meters
I followed Caleb out to try to get a photo of him at the transition area and I was looking all around the tent to see where he was putting his shoes on. Nope, no need to waste time putting on shoes! The kid bypassed the transition area entirely and went right to the run.
And then we all went inside and had pancakes and bacon and fruit for breakfast. A really fun morning together.
