John David has been participating in our towns kids triathlon since he was in first grade. He swims year round but has never really trained for the bike and run portion. This year he did and actually had a bike that was big enough for him. All his work paid off for him….he placed 8th overall and 1st in his age. He was so happy:)!!!
I LOVE this pic!!
