Tyler crashes at Bradburn Triathlon

After the last few successful triathlons, we've been training Tyler to ride without training wheels with the hope of improving his biking time even more  he's been making great progress on the bike. Alan even bought him a new bike. The only problem we saw with his biking was his constant over correcting.

Anyways, the Bradburn Triathlon is finally here and Tyler was feeling quite confident. He had a really awesome start by speeding off on his bike. But unfortunately half way thru his cycling course, he crashed and lost all his lead. But with Alan's urging, he climbed back on his bike and continued with his race bleeding knee and all.

He even managed to pass a few people during running and did a good swim across the width and still beat Mateo by about a minute!

Anyways, we were really proud of him for finishing the race even after the crash! :)

All of us came to support Tyler

Our little brave triathlete!!

After the race was done, Tyler and Mateo spent quite a bit of time swimming around the swimming pool. It was really nice to see Tyler so confident in deep water! :) Next year, hopefully Cody will be able to compete also!!
