No matter the weather, they Tri'd....

Just like an adult triathlon, the Dog Days of Summer Kids Triathlon went on rain or shine.  And trust me, the only thing shining were the kids during the race.  The race took place on August 14th, and was Angela's 3rd triathlon and Elyse's 2nd.  Angela was VERY excited since she was in the "big kids division" for 6 and 7 year olds.  She would be doing the race all by herself for the first time.  Elyse was still in the wee-bees division (for 3-5 year olds) and this was completed with a parent by the child's side.  Because of the inclimate weather the tri was turned into a "modified duathlon".  The kids would still do the swim and the run, but the roads were too much of a hazard, so they emitted that portion.  It rained steadily for the hours we stood there - but no one minded, the kids had a blast.  They both crossed the finish line, gladly took their trophies, and asked "when can we do our next race"?  Must be in their blood!!   Congrats to our little triathletes!!
