Cam was excited and nervous. His bag has been packed since Friday (Dad remembered the shoes this morning & Mum had to take his goggles later!).
Cam & Dad left home just before 7.30 and I went with L & D at 8.30....Hamilton is one of the largest events in the country - About 1500 entrants... This is the bike transition area...
The older kids started at 9 & Cam was supposed to start after 10.... There was alot of waiting & nerves......
This is Cam & his friend Ben just before they went to queue to start....
And about 30 minutes later, they finally got into the pool area.....
Just to wait some more.................
After having his goggles on for the waiting - Cam got into the pool with them on his forehead....
And then tried to put them on in the water, took a mouthful & ended up being pulled the whole way....
Came out of the pool running....
And then lost his bike in the transition area....
Even with his flag.....
Once he found it - he was off - just to do exactly what he was told not to do.... Fell off.... But then he was away.....
Looked like he had a good ride...
Then he had the run......
He did great on the run - trying his best! Looks like he almost did his best in his weakest part of the event. 
Ben had an awesome tryathlon as well - I didn't see him in the pool, but he came out on his bike before Cam...
And stayed there with a great run to the finish!
They did so well - there were a lot of kids doing it as a team, one doing each part of the event - but these boys did the WHOLE thing - and are keen as to do it again next year YAYYY!!!!!

He is so clever and capable. Looking at all those folks I am starting to think Maddy might not be up to it, she has a thing about crowds...
