NCA hosted its first ever mini-triathlon this past weekend. It was a huge success. The whole event took place at a crater lake about 20 minutes from Managua, Laguna Xiloa.
There were over 50 participants, mostly high schoolers and a few adults. The day was filled with lots of fun, energy and great sportsmanship.
On your marks get set
GOOOOOOO
With a few bicycle events under our belts it helped us in planning for this fun day. There were loads of great volunteers that made it possible for all of the organizers to participate in the second heat. Kate and Lori were awesome timekeepers and have now been inspired to start training for a relay team next year.

Both Aimee and I had trained hard for the swimming portion since that is not something that either one of us excel in. We both had a great time training and participating in the event. Little side note. I give thanks to God for a great friend in Aimee. We have had so much fun training and participating in so many events and adventures during our time here in Nicaragua. God has blessed us both with similar interests and someone to do them with.
It truly was a family event. Several families had multiple people participating.
