Small Fry Tri

Caroline has been begging to do another triathlon....little kid version. She knew Anna had her big kid triathlon last weekend and kept asking. Luckily Germantown had their Small Fry Tri this weekend at Farmington Park. For a $5 entry fee each child received a t-shirt, drawstring backpack, frisbee, and a few other fun things, not to mention a real race number. Caroline had her strategy together and did great! She was not thrilled that someone in her heat beat her on the bike so she put on the pressure during the run and ended up first in her group. She was so proud. The Germantown Fire Department provided the "sprinklers" for the swim part. Last year it was simple lawn sprinklers. This year it was a hose from the fire truck. The kids were soaked by the end but all loved getting a medal and finishing the race. So glad the Parks & Rec department puts on this event. Great encouragement for the little ones!
