Little T's First Tri

 My 4 year old completed his first triathlon a few weekends ago and it was awesome!  We have a local kids tri here in town and Tyson has been waiting for 2 years to be old enough to compete.  He was in the 5-6 year old age group, since he will be 5 by December 31st, and one of the youngest kids in the event.

He was so excited before the race. 

 Transition set up and ready to go.

 Tyson getting a little pre-race swim practice in.  He said his favorite part of the race was the swim.

The 5-6 year olds lined up for the time trial swim start.

 Running towards T-1 for the bike.

 Getting his gear for the bike leg.

 Riding that bike like a big boy:)

 Off the bike in T-2 and heading for the run.

 About to cross the finish line of his first official race!

 I am such a sap and seriously almost cried watching my boy cross that finish line.  I can't put into words how proud I am of him and his effort and excitement about the race.  Seeing the pure joy on my boy's face as he raced and was enjoying something I love made me so happy.  He is so proud of that medal and his race number and t-shirt like momma gets:)
