The Traverse "TRY"athlon!


On Friday, Morgan participated in her very first "Try"athlon!  The FAB PTA for our school put this on for the kids.  During the entire week leading up to the event, each day had a theme based around fitness and nutrition.  There was "Moving Monday" (all kids were challenged to exercise for a whole hour), Tuesday was No Tube Tuesday (no tv watching all day), etc.  Then on Friday they would have their event.  Morgan talked about this NON-STOP all week!  She was so excited, and she did AWE-SOME!  Here's how it went down...

Lining up and getting pumped!


First section: Jump Rope 50 times




Next part: Scooter around a course on a wiggle scooter



Lastly, 2 laps around the baseball field and a foot race to the finish!




All the amazing finishers recieved a new water bottle and their very own jump rope (the NICE ones)!



So proud of my little finisher!  She did great!  Also, so glad to have her in a school that promotes fitness, nutrition, and healthy, fun lifestyles.  Can't wait until next year!  Go TIGERS!

Anyone that can doing 50 jumps with a skipping rope is a champion to me. Well done Morgan
