Pacific Coast Triathlon

New Port Beach, CA

Now this was my hardest triathlon. The waves were so big for the swim I didn't know what to do. Te run was the best thing I did. During the run I passed a man and he yelled at me "Hey Kid, it is NOT a race!" People were calling me the bumble bee. My Dad knows how to pick good races. He picked both races that Chris McCormack chose this weekend. This race was in a beautiful place called Crystal Cove in the Newport Beach California. It is part of the Best of the U.S. series. It is on Competitor Magazine and Inside Triathlon Magazine’s best race list. It was also the race chosen for the USAT Sprint National Championships last year. I got to race with 2007 Ironman Champion Chris McCormack (Macca). He signed my hat the day before at the San Diego Classic Triathlon which he did with my Dad. That was cool because about three weeks later he would become the 2010 Ironman Champion.

San Diego Classic

San Diego, CA

My Dad did this race and I volunteered. I was glad I did because I got to meet one of my heroes. Chris McCormack. He won the race and signed my Ironkids hat! I handed out GU at the half way point on the run which was the same as the finish line. I got to eat pizza and I got a free shirt. It was awesome. I also got lots of free stuff from the Tri Club of San Diego. My Dad is a member. I even got temporary Tri Club tattoos and a Tri Club cow bell. This event was awesome and put on by Moment Cycle Sport and the Marriot Hotel where we got to stay right next to the race.

My Dad was doing this race. I volunteered and helped out and got a free Road Crew Shirt. This was a awesome race put on by the Comeptitor Group. I really like the expo and the food. I just wish they let kids do it.
