Addison & Kelsey participated in the Atomic Kids Triathlon on Saturday, July 27, 2007 along with 63 other kids ranging in age from 7 to 14. The race consisted of a 200 meter swim, a 2 mile bike and a 1 mile run. Addison placed 3rd in her age group with a race time of 32 minutes 17 seconds, with Kelsey on her heels placing 4th with a race time of 32 minutes 18 seconds.
Addison decided to share her trophy with her sister because they both helped motivate each other during the race.
Devoted Fans came from near and far to watch the girls cross the finish line despite the soggy weather.
Kelsey took the lead in the swim coming out of the pool about 5 seconds before Addison. Addison then took the lead on the bike leg and keep the lead by 1 second on the run. It was a very close race!
The girls were all smiles on the final stretch of the race.
There's nothing like placing in your age group in your first triathlon. But even more there is nothing like sharing your prize trophy with your deserving twin sister.

Andrea, as always, your photos are just perfect. But you do have perfect subjects. I knew Kelsey and Addison were great ballplayers but they went through the swimming, biking and running like old pros.
