Quadratholon: Ain't easy
Old(er) age is supposed to be reflective and relaxing. We, however, are in a major athletic competition in which two older adults have taken on the awesome power and energy of a child not yet one year old. Unfortunately for us, he gets to decide the events.

Don't let the baby face (older picture) fool you. This is a highly trained athlete who we suspect is taking some sort of supplements.1. Crawling sprints with unpredictable changes in direction. This is hard on the knees and all sorts of joints I didn't know I had.
2. The four point stair climb: essentially a crawl up the stairs. Here we get to be spotters more than competitors.
3. The diaper change. A deceptively easy event that requires highly honed defensive skills.
4. The pull-it-off-the-shelf debacle. As with the others, this event has no clock and can go on for ever.
Reminder to self: Get liniment, aspirin and a personal trainer.
Paddle safe...
