Olive's Junior Kids (7-10 year) Chicago Triathlon

Olive swam 100 meter, biked 2.2 miles and ran .62 miles!  

We all woke up at 430 am to get to Foster Beach on time to set up. 
Daddy helped Olive get set up in Transition very early in the morning.

Cheering Section!
 
Dan's parents from PA, my sister Tiffany and her family! 

Even though my parents were not able to make it downtown, they were cheering us on in their homes and on the sidelines with their faces on sticks! 

Caleb, one of our good friends and staff from Jamaica, came from Minnesota to see us too!

Before and After pictures
Each of us completed the International Distance Triathlon which normally is a
.95 mile swim, 24.8 mile bike and a 6.2 mile run! 


Unfortunately, due to dangerous waves, the swim part of the event was cancelled so we had a .95 mile run to start instead.  We all got to start together!

My brother, Joe, and his family came out to cheer us on too! 


Carole's parents took us all out to Outback Steakhouse afterwards! 


Just a few pictures of the Expo Beforehand 

We all took the Blue Line downtown to the expo and registered for the event.




Our names were on a big sign with all the other participates! 



Thank you so much for supporting, cheering and encouraging us for this fun family event!
