Today thre was a tri a couple towns over today. it was an off road tri. first they had the Adult tri. and it was funny to see all the triataletes , who do nothing but road train , hit the trails, most of them had much older bikes ( lots of Ridgids ) , I even saw a couple people with Cyclo-cross Bikes ( one with a pretzeled Wheel after all was done ) , but there were some really nice rigs too!

any way aftre the adults race came the Kids Race. 50 Yards Swim, 1 mile Off road Bike , and 1/2 Mile Trail run.

the Kids went off at 10 second intervals.

here are my Kids waiting to go #100, 101

Here they are in the water approacing the beach.

Next onto the Bike . Here Pete Is flying , had a really determined look . with Jessica way in hte back.
