‘Life Changing Finish Lines’ –> Why they’re racing together:
‘Our 15 year old, Tanner, is motivated to better his time from last year. He’s completed two test triathlons of the same distances recently. While our 12 year old daughter, Haley, isn’t as enthusiastic about training, she doesn’t want to miss the excitement of race day. Hayden, our 9 year old, will do the 5K. He isn’t interested in doing the triathlon yet. They usually run M/W/F and bike T/TH/Sat and swim in the lake twice a week. It’s a good excuse for me to get them up out of bed in the morning! We miss a lot of Saturdays with visiting friends and family and other summer fun. Mom and Dad are training too so someone is always running in and out of the house!
Last year people assumed they were doing a kids triathlon of much shorter distances, but they set a more challenging longer term goal and gradually worked toward it all summer. They’ve enjoyed the satisfaction of accomplishing their goal. I hope this carries over into other areas of their life. They have more confidence this year after completing the distance and knowing what to expect in transitions and on the course. The kids’ grandparents will travel from West Virginia again to cheer the kids on. It’s such a well run event and friendly atmosphere – we are all looking forward to it!’
-Claire Smart, mother of Tanner, Haley, and Hayden
