A coworker found this yesterday in our newspaper (The Daily Sentinel). Pretty neat article to encourage parents to get kids involved in triathlons.

My kids ages 6; 10 and 11 all did a kids triathlon back in June. The race was set up professionally with transition area's; time chips; bouy's in the water, big finish area with the blow up finish line, the hole 9 yards. They all got a tri tee shirt and a finish medal. Although they had more fun with the colorful swim caps that were handed out. Needless to say they had an absolute blast. And let me tell you the crowd had a big hoot when my 6 year old came out of T1 with his bike.....with training wheelsLaughing

bmcgee - Is this from today's paper?

I just checked, and it's from the September 14th paper. It may have been a late reprint, or she may have had the paper sitting around at home and just shared it with me yesterday.

Dallas Morning News.

My seven year old son did two triathlons this summer. He love them.

He told me when he passed some kids on the bike he hollered, "stop drafting!"
