junior ironman

One of the main reasons we went to Busselton for the Ironman was for my step-son to compete in the junior triathlon. There is no denying he is a natural but I think he is going to get a shock next year when he goes up a level and competes against 13 year olds ;) The highlight of the day was the kids meeting Mitch Anderson who was there to give out prizes and awards. They were going on and on and on and Mitch eventually realised that it was going to take forever so he started handing out spot prizes to kids that hadn't received anything. Big mistake! He was mobbed by about 40 kids trying to get their hot little hands on his prizes. I think he even got his feet trodden on and perhaps had a horrible visual of not being able to compete the following day due to the stampede of kids that afternoon. Thankfully, the triathlete emerged unscathed and I think all of the kids got a spot prize :)
