We have been watching a lot of Olympics around here. When they started, Maddie asked Eric, "Dad why aren't you doing it?!" :) Kids say the sweetest things... After watching a lot of the swimming, Maddie has been talking about Michael Phelps like she knows him. So, in the spirit of the Olympics, Maddie wanted to sign up for the Los Alamos Kids Triathlon. It was last Sunday and she had a blast. She rode her bike 1/4 mile, ran 100 meters, and swam 25 yards. We had fun watching her and Elise wanted to know why Maddie wasn't on TV. :)
Maddie was the 2nd girl in her age group and earned the silver medal. She has her medals and triathlon hat hanging on her bed.
Her new school shoes were broken in during the bike and run.
