Athletic events

Have you done anything athletic? I sure have! I've done triathlons, climbed mountains, biked a 60 miles, running races, 5-K's[3miles], swimming, and more! Triathlons are where you swim, bike, then run. Since I am really good in swimming I got 2nd place once! At the end of each triathlon that I participate in, I always get the place of around 20-30 out of 100 kids! That is a very good place to be in! My mom also does triathlons. She has to do 30 laps swimming, 15 miles biking, and 3.1 miles running! That is very hard to do! The Iron Man is the father of all triathlons. My dad did 1 of them! You have to do 2 mile swimming, 112 mile biking, and 26.2 mile run! The record is 6 hours! That is so fast! My dad did it in about 8 hours. Me and my dad are the only ones climbing mountains in my family! My dad did the mountains called Denali, Whitney, Shasta, Rainier, and lots more! I did the mountains called Whitney, Half Dome, and Dana. We got lost on the way down from Mt Whitney so we had to go down a very dangerous cliff! Once I slipped and all most fell down a 30 foot drop! But my dad caught me by his hiking pole! I was lucky! On Mt Dana I got really sick so I had to come down when I was so close to being on the top! I biked a 60 mile trail when I was only eight years old! I learned about the gears and when to use them! Low gear when going up hill, and high gear while on flat surface! Their where two rest stops, one at the 13 miles, and one on the 40- miles. I was so tired when I came to the car! Last year I wanted to do a progressive marathon. Progressive means you do it over a period of time. I did so many 5-K's to finish the marathon! I did about 4. I want to get to swim team so my mom signed me up for swimming. I am on the flying fish level! Please tell us what athletic event you have done over your life.
