Cooper is participating in a triathlon as part of a family reunion in a few weeks. He feels the need to be prepared for this event. Therefore, he and his dad did a practice run tonight.
The specifics:
swim: 4 lengths of the pool
bike: 2 laps around the block
run: 1 lap around the block
(one time around the block is roughly equivalent to 1/4 mile)
ready to get in the pool.
after lap 1.
headed back for final lap.
transition 1. yes, the socks make him go faster.
down the chute to get his bike.
off they go for lap 1.
completing lap 1 of bike.
off on the run. during this brief transition of ditching their bikes, I heard denten say, "you don't need to go too fast," seeing that he might be getting a little tired. to which cooper replied, "dad, it's part of the race to go fast!" and fast he went.
down the homestretch.
post-race.
final time: 10 minutes, 40 seconds.

That is too precious. He's going to love reading this when he's older and I'm going to have to remember this one when my children get older.
Classic!
We have some competitors to share if he wants to practice with them sometime! Though I think he'd kick their tails...
That's awesome! He's a fun kid to read about. Thanks for sharing. That also sounds like my kind of triathlon.
I impressed with his time & his competitiveness. At least you know he's no slacker!!!
So cute! That's nice that you don't have to explain to him what a "race" is.
Way to go Cooper!! You will surely be ready for the triathlon in July. (Especially since no one else is thinking about it yet.)
Good for you! Keep up the good work. It's so nice that your dad will practice with you. I love all the pictures.
Well, isn't that just the cutest darn thing in the whole world!!
What a little stud (I am referring to Cooper, of course). How fun for him, too. I think I could maybe finish that kind of triathalon, but I am positive he would beat me.
Cuteness! I love that he's following in his dad's footsteps. The look of pride on both their faces in the last picture is priceless.
Yikes, I'd better get my kids on a regular training program if they are going to keep up with Mr. C.
So stinkin' cute! All your training is going to pay off, you'll be the fastest by far! Good luck Coop!
Good Job Coop! You are going to do awesome. I'm so excited for you to come up and play for a few days!
p.s. tell your mom to buy you a helmet!
