My IRONKIDS Hat

I got this hat at IRONKIDS. On September 18, 2010 I was volunteering by handing out GU at the San Diego Classic Triathlon. Chris McCormack was racing in that race. He won the race and I got to meet him. He signed my IRONKIDS hat. I saw him again at the next day where we both raced in the Pacific Coast Triathlon. He won that race too. Three weeks later he became the 2010 Ironman World Champion in Kona Hawaii. My Dad and I were following the race on the computer. I was cheering for him. I am definatley keeping this hat. Chris McCormack is awesome.

Seville Triathlon

Gilbert, AZ

I knew what to expect at this race since I did it earlier this spring. It was held at the Seville Sports Club which I really like. I did much better than when I did this race in the spring. I got second place. I had a really fast swim and good transitions.

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.

Tri Rock

San Diego, CA

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.

Cape Shore 5K

Boston, MA

This 5K was beautiful but I didn't do so great. We got to run along side the Charles River near Harvard University. We got to cross bridges too.

Run for Riley 5k

La Porte, IN

This is the race I did the worst on. And that is because I either wasn't trying my best for because I wasn't practicing so much.
