.... has gone very well for my junior athletes.
All three won their respective age-groups at the Motor City Superkids event and my 13- year old stepped up to the Sprint distance at the Triceratops race last month. I was a little concerned about entering her in this race as she's still got two years to go before she reaches the USAT recommended minimum age of 15 for this distance. I was doubly concerned as it was 97 degrees the day of the race and we had to adapt our strategy to cope with the hot weather.
In the event, she had the third fastest swim overall, put together a decent bike ride averaging over 17.5 mph and managed a 33 minute 5k on a day that was never going to see fast run times.
It's not going too badly for the elderly either ... we've had an athlete qualify for the Boston marathon and even I've managed to get four top-three age group finishes in the five races I've completed so far.
