Ahh yes, as parents you try and do the right thing and expose your children to all kinds of adventures. You drag them to a 3 hour coupon class and then at 10:30pm think it will be a fun idea to go to watch the ironman finishers come in and cheer them on!
This weekend our hometown was host to an Ironman triathlon. I think it is amazing what those athletes do and the time they take to train for it is crazy. In the past few years I have done 7 sprint triathlons, which is a short distance tri, 750 meter swim, 15 mile bike and a 5k. These guys that do the Ironman do a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run. ALL IN ONE DAY! They have to finish at midnight!
Back to torturing my kids…. so we went over to catch the last finishers coming in and cheer them on. We were at the FINISH line of an Ironman, the music was LOUD, the fans were pumped, and the adults were having a blast!
The children however:
Fell asleep sitting OR LAYING on the sidewalk! It was a sad, pathetic site.
So much for exposing your children to “different experiences” I think next time we will try for middle of the day!
