Hummingbird Triathlon in Sierra Vista
August 20, 2011
combined time of 2:44.59
Daniel swam the 800 yards, Nate biked the 13 miles, Jared ran the 5K
Nate and Jared just zipped right by that I couldn't get a decent picture of them in competition. I'm so incredibly grateful these little boys had a positive experience. They each hit 'the wall' during their leg of the race, yet they continued to move forward. They never lost sight of their goal. They were amazing!!! My favorite part of the day was watching the look of shock on their little faces when they realized they were getting 2nd place trophies. Such a sweet moment. They were also recognized as being the YOUNGEST competitors in the race. All the competitors gave them a HUGE round of applause and cheered really loud for them. After the awards ceremony, we headed to Golden Corral to celebrate. Over lunch they started planning for their next team triathlon adventure! Wow!! They are amazing little boys becoming amazing young men!! In my opinion it's all about the process of becoming and they are!
Way to go Lightning Bull Shark Team!!!
Your families are very proud of you!!
