Geck-a-Thon

Gentry ran her first Triathlon for her school Lava Ridge (their mascot is a Gecko hence the Geck-a-thon)
300m Swim, 4 mile Bike Ride and 2 mile Run
Cousins at the starting line! 
Ready to swim, the water was freezing. 
Gentry swimming her 6 laps (12 pool lengths) She was so tired. 
Her and Hallee off to the bike portion. 
They rode from Sand Hollow to Lava Ridge 
Running her 2 miles. (2 laps around the field and Gubler park.)
 Heading for the finish line!
She Finished!! 1:08:08 
What an achievement! And so much harder than you'd think. I ran the last mile with her and was dying and she had just swam, biked and ran. So proud of her!
Cousins at the finish line! They all made it!
A few days before, I had taken Gentry and Hallee out on the bike trail to practice and we got caught right in the middle of  this accident. 
a truck at SCHS caught fire. 

We had to wait for the crowd to disperse so we could pass. So sad.
About a week later they had a ceremony for all who participated.
 Mrs. Gubler presenting Gentry with her certificate.
 Congrats!
