Jillian's preschool had their annual keiki triathlon the day before the Ironman again this year. And again, it was a truly awesome event! The school invited an Ironman athlete and his coach (also an Ironman athlete!) to come and help the children stretch and get ready for their race. The athletes are wearing blue shirts, white hats and leis.
Jillian and Miss April are stretching. Jill is #41 and wearing the green polka dot swimsuit.
Here is her class sitting in the shade along the course, cheering on the younger kids from Room 3!
At the start line. First the children ride their bikes along the parking lot. Then they run around and through the school to the play yard. This is where they stop (quickly) to remove shoes and run (swim) through 3 baby pools. So much fun! And hard too, I ran the course with Jillian was was out of breath by the end! (And more sweaty than I care to admit.)
The finish line! WooHoo! Mrs. Andrea - Jillian's teacher this year - is at the finish line cheering on her kids. See the big basket of TP rolls on the table under the tree? That is because every single child (60 some racers!) got to run through the finish line and break a toilet paper ribbon.
Mrs. Andrea is asking the kids their favorite part of the race.
Room 1! Hollah!
Miss Anna is giving Jillian a medal with her time - 2 min and 52 sec. She beat last year's time by a whole minute! Go Jill! Each child received a medal. Isn't that great?! We love University of the Nations! Thank God for this fantastic school Jillian is blessed to attend.
