Cheering on Her Best Bud!

Hannah and I had the opportunity to cheer on Benjamin at a recent kids triathlon and it was so exciting! 

He started with swimming 25 metres and he chose not to wear a life jacket.  Here is some of Benjamin’s cheering squad. IMG_4662

Yes, that’s our group yelling, cheering and ringing the bells!  You’d think he was in the Olympics!  LOL!!  Great swim Ben!!

We ran outside while Ben went to his transition station and quickly prepared for bike portion.  He was so fast that some of us only got to see his return on the 1.5km bike ride!  Love his intensity!IMG_4667

Benjamin’s final leg of his race was a 500m run.  Check out his form and this was in the last 100m of the entire race!!IMG_4674

Benjamin replacing his fluids after his great race with Granddad his coach who is an amazing triathlon competitor himself.

    1. Ben is 6 and this is his 3rd year competing in this triathlon! I was hoping Hannah would be interested in giving it a try as she's a great little runner but so far nope! LOL!

  4. Wow! His 3rd year! That's incredible! What a cool little athlete! So, Hannah wasn't interested in trying it out? Marin would really like the biking & swimming, but would complain about getting too sweaty on the running. Ha!
