Triathlon Weekend - Molly & Jacob's Kids of Steel Race

Tons of great photos thanks to Ryner and my mom. So, I'll break the weekend into a few parts.
Here's the Kids of Steel event on the Friday. Molly & Jacob did their first triathlons.


- Here they are devising some pre-race strategies

















- These events always bring out the crazy fans - Uncle Don



















- Getting ready for the race, while the fans stay dry














- Sean and Erin tell the little twins how to kick some triathlon butt















- Last minute cap adjustment from Mama















- Zoë spent the weekend saying "where's my triathlon" - here with Aunt Beth















- Me telling Molly "at least you can swim - I may well drown in my triathlon"















- Jacob in the swim. He's in the middle of the photo, with his chin just above the surface.















- Jacob getting some directions on how to get from the beach to his bike














- Pushing his bike through the transition area

















- Molly running into future rival Mary-Grace in the water
















- Molly pushing up the transition hill
















- Jacob sprinting toward the finish line















- Finisher's medal around his neck and cowbell in his hand - ready to cheer Molly to the end

Wow!!! Way to go Molly and Jacob!!! We are soooo impressed.

The determination on their faces is priceless. (Hold on to those photos, they'll need them to use when they're sponsored by Rolex and they are asked for a photo to include in the ad showing how they started on their path to greatness.)

Way to go!! Wish we had been there to cheer you on in person.

Now, let's hear the rest of the story!!
