The first annual Hope Presbyterian Kids Duathlon was Saturday morning and Anna was excited about the event! Gary was one of the primary organizers of the event which did take a lot of time planning and setting up but was worth it when the event was all said and done. Anna was competing in the juniors category which was for 6-10 year olds. This involved a 1k run, 2k bike and a 1k run. The senior category did double the juniors. Anna had practiced with Gary on the course a few times and felt comfortable with both the run and the bike. It was very hot day but Anna did great. She came in 2nd in the 8-year old girls category, with a time of 17:44. She had the largest cheering section for sure with 4 grandparents, 2 parents, 1 aunt, 3 cousins and 1 sister all in tow to cheer her on! What fun to see her be excited about health and fitness and too see her accepting her trophy! Looking forward to next year!!
