Team Tri for Kai!

Last weekend I completed my 4th triathlon! A triathlon is a swimming, biking, and running race. We do sprint distance races- usually a 1/4 mile swim, 10-15 mile bike and a 3.1 mile run. 

This year we had a few changes to our race. First of all, we decided to do The Pilgrimman Triathlon in Plymouth.  It is at Myles Standish State Park, so we got to camp for the weekend too. Another change is that my Dad got to participate with us- he did the biking this time. The last change was the AMAZING piece of equipment we borrowed from Hoyt Running Chairs. Here are some pics of our adventure!

We made cool tshirts for our team- Tri for Kai!

Liam was practicing his dance moves by the DJ!

Liam found a rock shaped like a heart before the race!

Our new friend Abby raced with her Dad too. We hung out in our boats before the race.

Mom pushed me on the run here I am crossing the finish line!

I WIN!

Our relay team got 3rd place! (There were only 3 teams;-)

Here we are with our medals

 It was a fun day! I love to go fast on the bike especially, and sometimes I like when I get splashed by my mom's kicks during the swim- but the BEST part is crossing the finish line and having people cheer for me! My Dad is excited to do a race again with me next year!
