Tori's Try-athalon

The school district in Oregon where we were put on a "Try-athalon" for kids.  They had different distances for each age group. If I remember correctly I think for Tori's age it was swim a lap of the pool, bike 2 miles and run a half mile.  Tori was so excited to be a part of it.  She tried to train by running and riding her bike to school and going on runs and bike rides with Dad.  She did it with her best friend, Natalie, which made it even more fun. 
 Above Tori and Natalie just finished the swimming portion (Natalie's mom and older sister, Evie are behind them).  Below Tori is doing the bike riding part.  She did well with this part, but there were a few hills and turns that she didn't like to take fast.
 Below she is finishing up the running portion with a big smile.
 Below you can see James doing some running of his own behind the girls. 
 The cutest thing about the whole day was how thrilled Tori was to get the blue ribbon she is holding below.  It's the first time she had gotten a ribbon and she couldn't stop talking about how cool it was.  It is still kept in a special place a year later. :)
 Even Ellie had fun running around and cheering for Tori.
