mini Moss-men?

The MiniMOSSman Triathalon         July 12, 2012!
The Moss boys just completed their first triathalon ever!
When we heard the name of the race we just knew we had to enter--it really is called that
(admittedly some of them did it for the T-shirt and guaranteed metal, if completed)!

We practiced with our friends the Sharps (veterans of such races) and the Wheelers.  The boys learned how to transition and practiced the swim, biking, and running. 

 Eli and Adam were in the 11-14 year old group--they swam 200 yards, biked 4 miles, and ran 1 mile.






We are so proud of them!!
We could really get into this--for them!  (I think it would be cool to try, but am pretty sure it won't be any time too soon).




WAY TO GO, MINIMOSSMEN (for real, hee, hee)!!



*poor David hobbled around on crutches all day--so he ended up in charge of Isaac while I ran after the boys with the camera.  We don't know what is wrong exactly, but he had an MRI today so we'll see.

Ha! Josh makes me laugh!! Great job boys!! That sounds hard and awesome! I think they should have called it mighty moss men!!
Poor David? Is this residuals from a former bike accident? (Seems to be a common problem for highly effective men.)
