Kids Triathlon Goes on Despite Rain

Rain forced the cancellation of the biking leg of the race on Sunday, but the kids swam and ran as planned.

Not even the rain could dampen the determination of the kids who participated in the 2011 Central Bucks Family YMCA Triathlon.

But the rain did suceed in washing out the biking category of the race, turning the triathlon into a duathlon.

Competitors were divided into five categories based on age, and ran and swam different distances accordingly.
