Spence's first Triathlon!!

We were up early, full of excitement this morning to go out to Beerwah for Spence's first triathlon!! He has been so excited and looking forward to it!

It was a beautiful morning, no wind or clouds! We got there and registered and Spence got his number written on his arm! We set up his bike in the transition area then waited for the start!

Spence's friend, Nicholas, was doing it too which was great! There were three age groups, 5-9yrs, 10-12yrs and 13 and over. The kids in Spence's race had to swim 25 meters, ride 1 kilometer and then run 400 meters!

Spence did really well! He had a great time! There were only about 15 kids in his race and we were allowed to help him in the transition area to get ready for the next thing! It was great! Very fun and laid back, a great initiation into triathlons!! He wants to do another one now!

All the kids got a medal when they crossed the finish line and a certificate and a bag of lollies at the presentation at the end!! Spence was happy!

We then came home, Joti had a little sleep then we went to Bradley's birthday party, then came home for a rest and a swim, then went for a family bike ride down to Golden Beach. We were planning on getting fish n chips for tea and eating them by the beach but we saw Dom and Scarlette from Spence's class who were by the beach with Dom's boat. They let Spence have a go in the boat which he loved! We ended up getting fish n chips on the way home and had a picnic in the lounge!! It was a great day!
