These are our friends Sean and Julia. They did the race with us last year too.
Another team started with us also, Alex and Kyle!

Here we are getting into the water after the whistle blew! It was super wavy! Mom was worried the boat would get blown over and I would fall out! Dad paddled along side us in the kayak to make sure I was safe. After about 50 yards into the swim, I came detached from Mom! She had to swim back to get me and reattach the rope to her belt. It was a little scary, but we kept going. We started at the back of our wave, but mom managed to pass (and run over) a couple of people with the boat!
Here we are coming out of the water after a quarter mile swim. Dad didn't bring a change of clothes and he got a little wet carrying me out! Then it was time to transition to the bike!
Dad was our pit crew, making sure we were hooked up safely. Al (Mema's fiance) rode along with us to keep other riders from getting too close on our 10 mile bike.
Coming into the finish on the bike. Luckily, Al was with us on the ride. He took one for the team when a rider got too close and he had a fall. Fortunately, he only had a few scrapes and was able to finish the ride.
Next we transitioned to the run. Mom and I did this part on our own. Only 3.6 miles to go!
Our friend Karen surprised us on the run and took some pics!
Almost to the end! This is where we caught up to Sean and Julia!
We got to cross the finish line together!
Mom helped me walk across myself.
Our supporters! Dad, Liam, Addy and Al. Mema was taking the picture. Our friends Cindy, Krystyna and Skyler were there to watch and cheer also! It was a great day!

We even had an article in the newspaper about Mom and I!
