Aquathon Mum

The kids Saturday's are becoming very active lately with the usual Aquathon, Tennis in the arvo's and usually some sort of community event in the mornings. This week Sal had also organised a family cricket game. We all met at a local collage and had a hit around for a few hours. Then home for a quick lunch before heading to the Aquathon. This week was a ripper with the sun out the local kids were keen as mustard to join in the fun. In the end we nearly doubled our usual attendance but his enthusiasm flowed over into the adult aquathon and Jodie and the girls also participated.

For some reason Em was the keen one this week to get out there and have a bash.

26 participants consisting of both teams and individuals. Some of the little kids arms and legs were too small for the double digits even.

Not these guns though! Will these smiles still be there at the end?

Off they go 2km run, 200m swim followed by another 3km run. Nothing like being dragged along by the pack mentality hey girls.

Shoes off, time to hit the water! It's about now Jodie was thinking - "Why did we run so fast the first time out?"

The swim leg was a tad more difficult as Jodie had no prescription goggles so she stuck with Jen and Rochelle.

It was a team effort to get Jodie to the ladder safely.

With vision restored Jodie was now thinking - "Why did I do that swim with my singlet on?"

Final change over and back into those soggy shoes.

Off we go, nearly there Babe! Jen and Rochelle hanging in there also.

All done, there was only crossing the line and passing out left.

This face says it all - "What was I thinking?"

The entire competing gang. Lyndon stayed back and watched the monkies - piker!

GREAT EFFORT GUYS!!!!!! AMAZING JOB JODIE! WHATS NEXT?
