We were invited to go to the zoo with Megan's preschool class. She finished in June and hadn't seen her friends or teacher since then so she was very excited to meet up with them.
Megan was also in her very first Triathlon all by herself. She was looking the part and couldn't wait to get started. It goes Bike, Swim and then Run.
Little triathlon girl with her numbers on her legs just like the adults get. The race number goes on the left leg and the age goes on the right.
All ready for her swim.
Running out of the lake to go to the transition area to get ready for her bike ride.
Off she went on her bike ride. Time passed and we started expecting her to be back and then suddenly we saw her with one of the volunteers crying and walking her bike. She had fallen and took quite the spil. She had a bleeding fat lip, scrape on her elbow and bump on her eyebrow. I'm not sure what happened but it was good fall. At that point, her attitude definitely took a turn for the worse. It was all we could do to have her finish the race and go for her run.
But she finally did and I ran along side of her.
And eventually she finished. It wasn't the happy finish that we looked forward to but she finished and that was the most important part. Oh, and that she looked cute doing it! :)
