first tri of the season

Congratulations! That's great that you placed, and that your son raced too. That must be fun to do the same race together.

Yes, it was exciting doing the same race. I was so excited to watch him race, that I ran right through the finish line and down to the pool to catch his race. I didn't even check my time until after he finished. I was so proud of him. The last part of the bike was a hill, not a big one, but he had a heavy dirt bike, and he's only 7. He was trying so hard to speed up that hill, he had the grimace and everything. It choked me up.
Thank's for the kudos.

way to go Jen and your son as well.It's great that you placed in your division!!I love seeing the youngsters getting involved in athletic pursuits and what an awesome thing to train with your son and watch him finish his first race as well.I did a 32 mile ride last fall and there was a mother and son there.He was probably about your son's age and he rode the course on a BMX bike.I got to riding with a group of other cyclists and we were trying to figure out how many more pedal strokes he was making than we were.He chugged right along with his mom and when we finished we all waited to cheer him across the finish.Most impressive, as are you and your boy!!Again,congrats on a great race and a great day!!
