Raymond Triathlon!!

You better believe it!! Raymond had their 1st triathlon and I thought it would be super fun to do it. So I talked to Lucy to see if she was up for the challenge and being the competitive little thing that she is she of course was pumped!! So JD, Whit D., & I did a team triathlon with Whit swimming 200 meters, JD biking 10 KM and I ran 2.5 km...but that isn't what was so fun, it was doing this race with Lucy!! First Lucy had to swim 4 lengths of the pool which she did really well, then it was off to the bikes!! I got my helmet on, she had her cute barbie helmet (it is the only pic I don't have since I was with her) and off we went for our 2.5 km bike. After about 3 blocks the legs started aching and she was choking back the tears asking over and over where the finish line was, but as soon as she'd see the people helping she'd choke back those tears and keep going!! We rounded the corner and she took off her helmet and off she was on her 1 km run (thanks saba for running it with her). As she ran in the announcer and everyone else was chanting "LUCY LUCY LUCY!!" She picked up her speed and ended in true racing fashion!! She was the youngest of over 120 competitors to do the race!! We are so proud and hope that she enjoyed it enough to keep on going!!
