eco tri

Jimmy completed his 1st eco triathalon this past weekend. My mom and dad signed him up and paid for his registration for his birthday so he had no choice but to compete:) As stated in my last post it was a hectic weekend for it but he's really glad he did it and it was a lot of fun to watch.

So the difference between this eco tri and a regular sprint triathalon is that there is a kayak portion opposed to a swim. It was a 2 mile kayak, 8 mile trail ride (on bike) & a 3.5 mile trail run. Jimmy enjoys 2 of the 3 things - he hates running - and he did this with essentially zero training!

He and my mom rocked it, way to go guys! Here's some pics from the day!
there they go - such a pretty morning
