Johann had the first tri of the day. He was one of the last kids to start (timed start not wave) because we aren't very good at lining up early. We were concerned that he would be to "shy" or scared to do it. But that wasn't a problem. He waded through the water like a champ.
Coming out of the water, Johann looked like he was having a great time. We took too long in transition putting on socks and such. It was better than Frances' first tri where I made her do everything (I thought it was the rule) but still not good compared to the other kids. We're learning with every kids tri we do.
Of course, Johann took off on the bike. He even passed a few kids (after I told him to). Later he said that the bike was his favorite part.
T2 was quick and he was off on the run. Johann was getting tired at this point but he kept gutting it out. The one problem with the run was that he kept trying to follow me, rather than the path. That slowed him down a bit since he was unsure of where he was supposed to run but he kept going and made it to the finish line.
I am terribly proud of his effort. He was completely spent but happy when he got done. And now he is a triathlete.
