Well, it was bound to happen. We raced in a triathlon before recapping the previouse one, and now we're less than a week away from the next one!
The field at this year's TriColumbia Kidz Triathlon was huge! That meant that the herd had to keep their wits about them in transition and on the multiple loop bike course. Fortunately for Coach Christy and our parents, our triathletes are easy to spot in their super cool tri kits.
