JCC triathlon 5/15/16

These pictures are from the JCC triathlon in Marblehead.  I shared them with my classes to show them what a triathlon is.  We had a question and answer time about what a triathlon is; swimming, biking and running, and how it's part of a healthy lifestyle.  As always, I promote fitness as a way of life and give the students examples on how to live it!
