When I first presented the idea to Chapin about doing a triathlon I
thought he would be excited, instead I got, "No thanks, sounds hard." We backed off after than but ultimately he decided to give it a shot. On the way to the kids triathlon at Sherando Park, Stephens City, VA. 
Chapin checked in and ready to go. Decided to go shirtless as they put a race number on your arm anyway, and saved the trouble to putting on a shirt when wet.
Here Chapin is taking a breather break from the 25m Crawl, first leg of the event.
Out of the pool and into the transition area.
The one strap shoes proved to be the key to a quick transition, that and no shirt.
Off to the start of the bike portion.
Go biker go!
And running through the finish gate! An event well done.

| And 4th Place goes toooooooooooooo......Chapin Turkel! A great finish for this first timer, especially since he was the second youngest boy in his age group. Look out 6-8 year olds, we'll be back next year! |
