Triathlon

The PE program at ISR is really something.  During the second quarter of the school year, the kids all trained for a triathlon during PE every day.  They practised biking, running, and swimming.  Then, on December 2nd they all participated in the actual triathlon.  The distances were different for each age bracket.     It was really exciting and super fun watching them push themselves and hearing everyone cheer for one another.  The kids were exhausted but felt really great about what they had accomplished in the end.

 Eden's age group swam 50 m, biked 4 km, and ran 1/4 mile.
Eden's handle bars came loose while she was biking, so when she went over a speed bump, suddenly her handle bars had fallen forward so she had to really lean over to finish her bike race.  She was such a trooper, she just kept going!

Cross that finish line... Well done Eden!
Dallin's group swam 100 m, biked 8 km, and ran 1/2 mile.


Transition from the swim to the bike.

We caught Dallin half-way through his biking to cheer him on!


He did it!!

We're #1 Triathlon Champions!
