Ok, so I know 'Team Stratton' isn't officially affiliated with Team Headstrong, but they are my heart and soul and I was asked to show pictures. 'Team Stratton' competed in the 'Stratton six's' first official triathlon. Boy did they put up a good show! Carlee (3) was the team anchor. She was about fifth coming out of the water in the most noble 25m swim you ever saw! She ran to her tricycle and pedaled for all she was worth. She then took off in her run so fast that I was having to work to keep up. Unfortunately, she thought she was done after the U on her W course. She then hit her virtual 'wall' and cried when she realized she wasn't done. I picked her up and held her arms up so her legs could finish! She was so excited to have done a 'triafolon!' Caeden (5) was second coming out of the swim, and got a little ambitious on the bike. He rode 'super fast' (real Team Headstrong potential), but accidentally went too many laps. He did great in his run and narrowly missed coming in first in the 3-5 age group (he would have won had he not been over-zealous on his bike). Camden and Chad (the twins) competed more against each other than the rest of the field. Camden (my true competitor) beat Chad by a minute--the rivalry continues. Claire finished--if you know Claire that in it of itself is an accomplishment (she is not much for finishing things). Last, but not least Clayton (Team Capt). Clayton was about third in the 9-12 age division to come out of the water, did great on the bike and run and finished about third. All in all a good day!
