Warning- proud momma brag ;) A month or so ago- Bug came home from school (he takes 1 class- currently Band- at the local public school) and told us about a Biathlon that his school was having, and asked if he should he sign up for it. He was hesitant (probably because he didn't want to go talk to the teacher who was in charge of it! lol) And finally decided to go for it. He debating asking a friend to do it with him, and do the run part of the race, but decided he could do it all. It was a 3 mile bike ride followed by a 1 mile run.
Friday was the big day- Here's Bug Before his race

| Just starting out on the run- I love this pic- it's so cool! |

Coming into the finish line- the boy in the orange shirt was right behind Bug the whole run leg of the race- and passed him up just at the end.
Results: Bug's time was 17:20, bike time was 10:15, and run times was 7:05. He took 2nd place in the 6th grade boys! and 4th place overall! I'm so proud of him for his hard work, and great accomplishment-- Great job Bug!! |
