I would like to share with you some of the greatest moments.
We had a lot of children from barely 6 to 14 years old. They all wanted to be there, to learn to be better triathletes. They were all different levels but we managed. We had 3 teams.
Our coaching staff was awesome with Maneesh, Sue F, Steven C, Taylor P, Brian P, Alex C, Kyle H, Emilie B and Pascale.
We would meet every morning on the wall by the courtyard to talk about the day ahead, to motivate each team and to send them off to their different activities. Because we had the whole pool and I would say the whole school groound to ourself the scheduling was easy. They all did everything, every day swim, bike and run!
Between technique, practice and fun games we had lunch and some had lunch high up
We had different teams, some with lots of girls
Everyone worked hard and did their best to get ready for race day. We even got rid of training wheels, fear of water and we developed a love for running with our favorite British Bulldog game.
Race day arrived quite quickly but everyone was ready to go
Even Pascale had it under control
We had all levels but some really speedy bikers for sure
Overall they all achieved something really great, they became triathlete, new or more experienced
They made new frienship and learnt from their coaches
and guest speakers
We can't wait for next year and have even more fun.
Looks like you are all having a great race season and congratulations to you all. It is not race season here in Tx due to the heat in the summer!! I think its in the spring
ReplyDeleteWe miss you all and training is quite difficult in such heat. We have had temps of over 100 degrees for over a month and no rain for over 200 days now.
Huw and I go out on our bikes early in the morning and do not change gear at all!! It really is that flat! We have both signed up for the Austin marathon in Feb, training begins in Oct.
Hope everyone is well after Irene and keep up the good work!
Miss you all
