Triathlon or Scout Ironman

On Friday Afternoon there was a second Scout Triathlon, this time for 14 and over. So Troop 1063 lead off with the Gold Team Swimmer {Eric}...who after making a detour still came in first.



Then Carson took off on a lap around the pond and down the hill and up the steps and into the Canoeing area...where he came into with almost a dead heat 3 way tie for first.



Then Eric and Tanner Wright took off in the canoe to go around the bouy and over to the cement block. Well...these guys took a canoe from the middle of the pack rather than getting one at the end so they headed for the landing in the middle of the pond to start. They went around it to the left and then paddled past the two first place teams that were headed for the cement block.







They finally rounded the bouy and got over to the cement block and almost won even though the other two teams had passed them going in the opposite direction. The other two teams got to the area where their canoe was to end up...however, since they both got out the boat and tried to touch Marci the scout leader that was there instead...they almost ended up losing. About 4 minutes went by and Marci informed them that neither one of them had won since neither one of the them had touched the 'cement block with their canoe.' This goes to prove the importance of listening to the instructions. Troop 1063 should have won...but a couple of detours onto the scenic route made it so we came in third.
