My Summer Races

My Summer Races   

    I know I haven't been blogging lately. It's because I have only done two races this summer . Plus it's been really hot, but now I'm back on track.

       Both of my races this summer have been triathlons. I'm going to talk about both today. The first Tri I did was the Kids Tri the Y in Athens. The second was the Hamilton Mill Tri. Both of these races were excellent.

      I'm going to talk about the Kids Tri the Y first. I did this race with my two friends Copland and Kurali. The race was a 150 yard swim, a 4 mile bike ride, and a 1.5 mile run.

Race Day

      AND THERE OFF!!!!!!! We did 3 laps in the pool, 4 laps for the biking, and 1 big loop for the run. In the swim course I passed a lot of people. On the bike I was slowish. Finally, on the run I passed a few people.

 


















   After I was done I went to watch my friends participate in there age group. After every one was done they had the award ceremony. Sadly none of us placed, but we were all winners because we had fun.

                                         I liked the Kids Tri the Y because it was local and fun.

 Hamilton Mill Tri.was held in Early summer.  It is one of my favorites.


I did this Tri with the same two friends, Copeland and Kurali,. The race took place in Hamilton Mill GA. The Tri was a 100 yard swim, 4 mile bike ride, and 1 mile run.

        1..2..3 BOOONK, And they are off. We did 2 laps in the pool then 4 miles on the bike course and did 1 mile on the run. The swim was pretty easy. On the bike there were a couple of hills so it was sorta hard. The run was the hardest through. there was 1 lap on the run and one way it was all uphill, but the other was all down hill.

   
        After everyone was done with the race they had the award ceremony. To my surprise  I did  get an award for 2nd place in my age group with a time of 19:53 .

 Then we got a coupon for a free snow cone so we went to get one.

 After that we also got a coupon for the IHOP so we went there for brunch.
     

         The Hamilton Mill Tri was a very nice run. I especially liked that we got free IHOP and snow coneS.

Races are always more fun with friends.  I'm so glad that I was able to share these awesome days with my great friends.
