She's Still a Maniac

Abigail loved her run/swim event a few weeks ago and begged to compete in a full triathalon. Who am I to hold a girl back?!

This was a much bigger event than the run/swim, but she wasn't deterred.

She started off in the swim and was passing people like crazy! She was like lightening!

She lost some time in the first transition because her ponytail made it difficult to get her helmet on. She eventually got it.

She came out of the transition like a mad woman on her bike!

Not even the 5K bike portion was enough to deter her fierceness. She was still determined when she came back to the transition area.

Unfortunately, a collision going into the transition area caused her to lose some more time and come away with a knee injury. But once she got her bike untangled, she was off again!

I love to see her compete! She goes all out!

She is just awesome! She was 14th of the 26 girls in her age division. She was 86th of the 166 7-10 year olds. See, I told you she is awesome!

She is already campaigning to compete in another tri, and I'm sure I'll cave in soon. She's just too good to turn down.
