Kids Triathlon

Anna competed in the Memphis Thunder Kids Triathlon on Sunday for the second year in a row. She was excited to be in the 8 year-old category and to see how her improved confidence would show in her race results. She was a little nervous but more anxious to get going.

She did great! Her swim, bike and run times were all faster than last year equating to 12 minutes faster overall. Her category had the most participants and therefore her results were not as high as she had hoped. We we thrilled. She was 16th in her age group out of 25 8 year-old girls. If she would have had this time last year of 27:40 she would have been 4th in the 8 year-olds!! Crazy in that it is all who shows up and how many are in your category. While she would have loved to have been at the top of her category she was very proud at how well she had improved and how much confidence she had the whole race.

She was all smiles on each leg of the race! So proud and looking forward to keeping her confidence building for more events.
ready to get this party started!
