Kid's Weet-Bix Triathlon

An early morning start

Pushing the bike to transition.

Transition for 1500 bikes. No racks though.

Hamish Carter gives some last minute tips

Our view of the pool. Thank goodness for zoom lenses

Adam is in there somewhere.
Exiting from the pool after a hard swim


Running to T1

Still running to T1 ... at least the long run gave me a chance to get to T1 for some photos

Helmet on

Quick swig of water

... and its out on the bike

... straight onto a hill ... very cruel!

coming down the same hill

looking good

the big climb on the 2nd loop

coasting down to T2

into T2

helmet off


... and its straight out onto the run

looking good

into the home straight

last 100m

I couldn't get round to the front in time cos I was waiting poolside for Laura to start. Felt bad missing his finish but at least got this pic of Adam (left) finishing.

He'd given it everything. Well done Adam!

Proudly showing off his bling

Luckily Laura didn't start until Adam had finished. Getting ready poolside

... and exiting the swim

running into T1

Now to find the bike


Helmet on

Crew member holds her bike

... and she's away

At least I can spot Laura easily with the pink helmet. Nightmare spotting Adam on the bike

The 1st hill ... although not the steepest.

Laura concentrating on the steepest hill

Go Laura!

Checking out the competition

Rolling down the last hill

Into T2, helmet off and onto the run

Laura (right) going well

My favourite picture of the day. Laura looking relaxed on the run.

A well deserved drink at the finish

Free food!

2 happy and proud kids

Laura with her friend Sharla who came to support her

So what do kids do after a triathlon. Go climbing

At the top of the skate ramp


The spot prizes afterwards. Adam and Laura won ............. nothing! :(
