Kayla entered her first (and in her words, "Not the last") triathlon on August 5th in Manassass, VA. Right before she entered the water she looked at Patti and said, "Is this a race today??" 
What a great feeling to know that she did not feel ANY pressure or pre-race jitters!!! She smiled at every transition and during each event. She crossed the finish line and said "Can I do the one in Raleigh next???" She really had a great time and a very positive experience. She loves being "just like daddy". Patti and Jeff are so proud of her and her courage. Patti has lots of great photos. Be sure to take a look. There are other kid-tri events coming up. There is one this weekend in Raleigh which the Lavelys are participating in, and another coming up in September. Patti, please post information about the races for others. Thanks!
Way to go Kayla. We're so proud of you!

ReplyDeleteThe one Kayla did in Va was VERY well organized and VERY safe--esp. for the little ones. Each swimmer is 10 seconds apart and as you will see on the website the age groups are spaced very far apart--the big kids will be off of the course before the younger ones get in the water!!!
She really did have a ton of fun!!!
(only took her 17 min so it is not too hard for them!!)
Great job Kayla!!! I guess all those years of practice in the stroller while Dad ran around Rocky Mount paid off.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures...I wish I could manage a smile like that at the end of my races!!!
ReplyDeleteGood Job Kayla!
