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:)
