Kids Triathlon

Lauryn & Zach completed their first triathlon, Miracles for Mitch, this weekend at Lake Ann in Chanhassen. Jim & I were so amazed to watch all these kids accomplish something that many adults will never even consider doing! We were lucky to have a training group through school, so the kids both had friends that also raced; making the event all the more fun for them. Both worked hard, finished strong, and had an experience of a life time. Zach swam 100 yards, biked 3 miles, and ran .5 miles. Lauryn swam 200 yards, biked 6 miles, and ran 1 mile. We are very proud of our little athletes!

Zach raced for Cole - Lauryn raced for Sara (both kids with cancer). Sure makes us appreciate that our children are healthy and able to participate in this wonderful event!
