GETTING READY
ARIEL
Swim: I got ready for the race. Then I went into the lake and warmed up. Then they said “Swimmers, take your mark, go!” We swam to the buoy. The water is cold. I make it to the 
shore and I come out of the water and run up to transition. I see mom and Dad along the way.
Bike: I get on my helmet, bike shorts and shoes. I grab my bike and start running out of transition. Then I go out and I see my mom again cheering. I pass 3 kids and one kid passes me. Then I go out past the entry gate. There’s Anna. She tells me “go
in a bigger gear”. I get to the turnaround and start heading back. I pass the gate again. I come back into transition.
Run: I take off my helmet and I take a sip of my sports drink. I head out. I see an aid station and got a drink of water. Ryder Cardenas is right in front of me. I catch up to him and pass him.
I realize that I accidentally forgot to put on my race number. I feel 
kind of embarrassed because everyone around me has their number on. Then I see the turnaround. I make it there and I head back. I see Anna and Mommy. I tell them about my number. Mommy it’s okay and to finish. I run as fast as I can to the finish. I see Anna running with my number. I finish! I feel good. Later I find out 
that I got first in my age group.
ANNA
Swim: 3.2.1 GO! We were off. I stared swimming but it felt like I was going slow. I kept on swimming and I finally made it to the buoy. I went around it and started running up on shore. I ran fast all the way up to transition. 
Bike: I got on my shoes, helmet, and race belt. I got my bike off the bike rack and I was off. I peddled hard and I caught some people but some people caught me. We biked across a bridge and then it was downhill all the way down to the turn around. When I turn around I start biking up the hill. On the way up I see Ariel! I tell her to get in a hard gear because she was going downhill. I finally made it to the bridge which I crossed. I kept biking and I see transition.
Run: I get off my bike and take of my helmet and put on my hat and start running. I get on a dirt path and run straight. Then I go down a small hill then up a big hill. At the top of the hill I turned around and went down a big hill and up a small hill. I kept running and I see the 
finish line. I sprint in and finish. Thank You god!
ALL DONE!
