Parr8hed Posted August 30, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 30, 2014 Em had a sinus infection. We thought maybe strep, but negative test. She wanted to run the race so we let her with instructions to not go too fast if she didn't feel good. Poor thing finished, but felt like crap. Her race was 25 yd swim, 1.5 mile bike and a .5 mile run. We thought that Was Griffin's race as well but he actually stepped up in age group at this race. His other races this year have been much shorter, still considered one of the little ones. But at this race 9 year olds had to run the bigger kids race. so he had to swim 100 yds bike 3 miles and run 1.5 miles. He finished, but was cooked. So a little perspective, most of his swim races were 25 yds on the swim team. His cross country runs are 1 mile. I think that the distance he did today was a pretty tall order for a 9 year old. Pretty proud of both of them right now. There are pics up on facebook. I didn't have the big camera. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zealot Posted August 30, 2014 Share #14 Posted August 30, 2014 Because they are not right in the head. Well that kinda goes without saying. I mean, they do have your genetics... ;-) But the do what they do because you inspire them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Parr8hed Posted August 31, 2014 Author Popular Post Share #16 Posted August 31, 2014 Results are in. G man finished 6th out of 9 in his AG. But his times were pretty close. Damn impressive for being less than 6 months post op from a major heart surgery. Em finished 2nd in her AG (out of 3). She beat the 3rd place chick by 5 minutes and only lost by 2 min to her good friend Presley who is a little speed demon. And G man had the 3rd fastest bike split. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan Posted August 31, 2014 Share #17 Posted August 31, 2014 So, we're here for you when the kids need to start training at altitude. Em rides and runs two weeks at a mile elevation, and Miss Speed won't know what hit her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
