Getting Ready For Superkidz Triathlon

On Saturday Sarah Jane will be doing her 2nd triathlon. She will be competing at the YMCA's Superkidz Triathlon. She is so excited about doing this race. She did it last year and had a blast. Last year she was 4 years old and had a to compete in the 4 to 6 age group. This year she is older and hoping to do better. She will have to do a 25 yard swim, a 0.49 mile bike, and a 0.25 mile run. This year Sarah Jane now knows how to swim so she should be able to improve in the swim event. Her bike is what I've been working with her on. She is scared to go fast because she doesn't want to fall. She fall last year at the race and has been scared ever since. Plus part of the bike course is grass and she has hard time riding her bike on the grass. If she can get thru the bike and swim the run is no problem for her. Here is a video I made of her doing her very first triathlon.
