Sydney's Triathalon

Sydney participated in a kids triathalon this morning. 
 
 Here she is at registration.
 
 Getting ready for the swim with other friends, Hannah, Eric and Tayson.
 
 
 
 Lining up, it's almost time.
 
 Sydney chose the long course, which is a 100 yard swim, or 4 lengths of the pool.
 
 
And she's off! Check out this video.

 The final lap.
 
 All done, running is next.
 
 The run, which Sydney did more of a run/walk, was 1.5 miles.


 She was tired.  But she says the swim was harder than the run.

 Time for a quick drink before the bike.

 Jump on your bike, don't forget your helmet.


 This is part of the giant bridge they rode on, which crosses the Willamette river. The bike was 3.5 miles.  Sydney is up there at the top if you look closely.
 When the bike is over, they run to the finish line, which had a surprise obstical course!

 Up the final wall,

 and down the slide to the finish line!  Yea Sydney!

All finished, now she gets snacks, jamba juice, a t-shirt and a metal.  She had a great time and can't wait to do it again next year.
