Winning RBI

Every kids dream...

Bottom of the final inning, the game is tied, 2 outs, bases loaded, JP comes up to the plate...

...and he hit the first pitch thru the gap between third and short to drive in the winning run!

Although their season started in the middle of May, its only the second game their team has won. (They have tied several others as their league has a two hour limit.) JP has had a struggle to adjust to the full size baseball field (90 ft bases, ~250 ft fence), and trying to hit off 15 year old pitchers, but is starting to finally make the adjustment.

Kids Tri

JP did his first triathlon Saturday. Swim:100 yards, Bike: 2.7 miles, Run: 2 miles. Yes, I know you are saying to yourself that once again the advantage goes to the runner, and definitely away from the bike which is JP's strength, but oh well. There were a lot of logistical issues, as this was the first triathlon the group putting it on had done.

His final time was 34 min 20 seconds. The transition from bike to run proved more difficult than he anticipated and he felt like he never really got his running legs going.

Still he did a great job and we are looking forward to finding more tri for him to try.



Set up at the transition area


Swim Finish (swim was up and back in same lane, then cross over to next lane)


Bike (3 laps on closed course, this is the end of his first lap)


The run was 8 laps on the track, and the kids had to have there numbers marked each lap, which was utter chaos!

Run Finish
