on the way home she had a lime sno cone:)

Cailey had her second triathlon the morning after we got back from the beach (08/29). We hesitated letting her do it because we knew she'd be super tired but she REALLY wanted to so we signed her up. She had a cold the whole time we were at the beach and her cough was really acting up during her swim but she was able to finish all three laps...an AWESOME accomplishment for her! The biking and running went great...but she was exhausted after it was over.

This triathlon didn't start quite as early as her last one and the swimming took place outside. The biking and running distance were the same as before but she had to swim one extra lap. We were SO proud of her and amazed that she could do it as tired as she was! Way to go, Cailey!

When we got home she said she can't wait to do another one!
