Mighty Tikes Triathlon
Danielle gets ready to participate in the Mighty Tikes Triathlon - one of the cutest events that Williamson County Parks and Recreation hosts!!! Kids ages 3 to 7 bike two laps around a bike course, stop get off their bikes and head to run through the obstacle course, complete with hoops, bouncy balls and a slide and then finish the event by running through the sprinklers. Danielle attended last year's event as a spectator and was all upset that she wasn't signed up to participate - so naturally I signed her up thinking that she was game to be a great competitor - not quite. But fortunately for us, every participant gets a medal and a t-shirt - not dependent on how they do or their attitude!!!
Danielle LOVED the bike portion of the event and rode really fast. When she got to the running portion through the obstacle course, her excitement wore off and she quickly became the World's slowest triathlete ever! One of my staff, Randianne, had to hold her hand and basically drag her through the course. It was hysterical, not just for Danielle's lack of interest, but for the fact that Randianne is 7 months pregnant and was jumping up and down and running with enough energy for the both of them. She did finally get Danielle to run through the sprinklers at the end. Even though Danielle refused to run through the ribbon at the finish line and let the lady put a medal around her neck -mom was able to drag her across the finish line and accepted her medal on her behalf. She was all lucky go happy when she realized they had a snack tent sponsored by McDonalds. She ran over to ask for apples, a sausage biscuit and orange juice. Then we got winner's circle pictures with her and our neighbors who also participated!
