Race Weekend

There was always one dream I had as a mom...It was to have all my kids skiing with me. I could not wait for the day when my whole family could be on the mountain at the same time. And we made that when Callie turned 4.

Well, a few years ago, I added another dream. Not anything I would have ever thought of before that...but I wanted all my kids to do a triathlon together. I only asked that they do it once and if they hated it, that was fine. Well it turned out they love it and cannot wait for another! Here a re a few pics of what our race weekend was like!








We started a training program about 6 weeks before. Starting at 7am, we would either run, bike or swim. We started slow and short and then gradually built up to the race distance!

They all did awesome! I am so proud of them! It was tough and there were tears but they all dug deep and finished strong

Yeah for all of the Arnetts! Congratulations! Side note: Jacque, that Ironkids logo is different from the one Abby and participated in -- it looks like an official I Dot Race. They do put on a great race. But anyway, nice job!
