IRONKIDS

San Diego, CA

Ironkids was a favorite of mine. It took place in San Diego where the sport of triathlon was born. I was treated as a VIP at the host hotel and the race and the expo were right next to the hotel. It was my first beach start, so it was kind of complicated for me. I recomend it. I will be doing it next year. The Hitlon Hotel and the people of Ironkids put on a great race.

Here are some pictures from Ironkids:

My Dad was my race support team and a volunteer.

Chula Vista 5K

Chula Vista, CA

I did this 5k with my Dad at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista California. This was my favorite 5K course because while we were doing the race, other Olympians were practicing right in front of us. I also got to talk to someone the whole way to the finish line. We got to see a lot of Olympians and run on their track.

Seville Triathlon

Gilbert, AZ

This triathlon is put on by Tri Family Racing. I always like their races. They do a great job for kids. This one was at the Seville Sports Club. It is a great place. This was probably one of the hardest triathlons I have done because it had a hill at the end of the run. I have never had to encounter a hill in a triathlon. I got fourth place and missed a medal by 24 seconds. I was kind of mad at myself. My Dad says we can do this one again in the fall.

Verrado Triathlon

Verrado, AZ

This race was put on by Tri Family Racing and the Village Health Club at Verrado. I like this place a lot. This was my second triathlon. The run was the hardest thing because my left foot started to cramp. It took place in a beautiful neighborhood that had a town square an open shopping. I also had some trouble in transition because I almost stole someones towel. I got first place in my age division. There was a town square where I played football with some of the other kids after the race>

There was also a store that sold giant dougnuts.
