Triathlon Training

Throughout the month of October, Myka joined me in my evening journey to the UNI pool where I have been a part of the master's team for 3 years. For the first time since we've been here, they offered swim lessons (for current students and alumni) during the week. Since she is 4, I felt comfortable getting her started with her lesson, and then going to the big pool to do my workout. When she was finished she sat at the end of my lane and ate her snack and yelled at me to "go faster" and "get the lead out". Since I didn't get to observe her lessons, we don't have any pictures this time, but on the last day I had Kurt come with us to snap a few for posterity. We didn't realize that the last day was "fun day", so there wasn't much floating or backstroking going on. But when we got home and I looked to see what he did capture, I saw a future triathlete in the making. Just picture a few hundred other people around her and a horn going off at the start.

And of course some swimming after the entry.

And maybe not a suit with a skirt on it.

But otherwise, she's ready to go!
