Porter & Sidney's Tri-Athalon!

Porter and Sidney thought Allen's Tri-Athalon was pretty cool, so they decided they wanted to try one too.  We signed them up through the rec center and Allen spent some time training with them.
We made sure they had good gear. Swim caps, goggles, shorts, shirts, and Porters spandex swim shorts. (One of my personal favorites!)
Allen tuned up their bikes.
The big day came and they were nervous but very excited!
The transition area set up.
Getting ready and showing off their numbers written on their arms. They thought that was really cool and very official. (Just like Dad)
Love Sidney in her swim cap!
Waiting in line, getting close to her turn to start. She was very nervous right before she hopped in the water, but I was so proud of her, she took a deep breath and jumped right in.
Swim
Running to transition with Dad.  Allen did a great job of being right there to help them know where to go and lend a helping hand, words of encouragement, and a hug.
Ready to bike!
Finished with the bike, off to run.
Almost to the finish line!
Happy girl! A medal and a popsicle :)
Porter getting ready to start. 
Swimming, nice turn!
Running to the transition area.
Focused on his bike.
Kicking it into high gear to cross the finish line because, "a girl was trying to pass me!"
All done and feeling very proud of himself :)

Family photo.  Proof that Rylee was there to cheer them on.  Thank goodness Rachel and Paul were so nice and came to support the kids and took care of Rylee while Allen and I were helping Porter and Sidney!  It was a very fun day, I am so proud of them!
