James found this for the kids. Now Luna is very serious about participating in the CA kids' triathlon in August. In fact she is committed now. She has set her goal to run a mile today so that she will be faster on the 1/2 mile at the kids' tri. I told her to work her way up to it but her mind is set. She knows she has to work harder on her swimming. We reminded her of that. She said "That's okay, I will just swim more and work harder. I can do it." Wow. She has far more determination than I! She is also reminding us that it is time to buy her a real bike too.
Even Byron could do this tri. The last age froup is 15-17. He scoffed at the shorter bike and swim distances then realized he could work on his time and maybe even place. All he needs to work on is his running which we will be doing here in a few minutes.
Liam wants to do it and is excited that training wheels are accepted. He is not as committed as Byron and Luna but likes the idea.
My question now is how in the world do we coach the younger kids? I can coach Byron easily but I don't want to push my kids yet I want to encourage them.
