Third place by Copland Grantham

Hey guys this week for my blog I will be letting my good friend ,Copland Grantham, writing one of his many race experiences   for us. You may have remembered his name from my last blog "My Summer Races". Without further adu here is his blog.........

                        Third Place

We woke up at 3:50 ready to have a great day. That is when I realized we had a triathlon. At first I was real nervous, but after that I was fine. I got dressed and was ready to hit the road.
     
       Once we got there we had to set up transition and get our race packets. We got all of our things set up and went to the pre race meeting. We waited a while and then it was race time. After we got lined up we hit the pool.
  
       My race was 4 laps and was not very challenging. After I finished the pool I sprinted to transition. I put my biking stuff on then I started the trail. 
  This was a 3 mile trail and a lot of people were on it so I had to weave through the people. After I finished the bike I went back to transition took off my bike stuff and finished strong.
   The run trail was ½ mile and I tried to go as fast as I could to the finish line. When I crossed I wasn't quit sure I placed ,but I had good feeling that I did. 

      After the race it stormed so they did the award ceremony fast. I was not 100 percent sure I placed until they called 10 year old boys and said “3rd place Copeland Grantham!” It was an awesome experience placing third. by Copland Grantham





I hope all of you enjoyed that. This race was held at the Atlanta Kids Triathlon at the West Gwinnett Park and Aquatic Center. Hopefully I can do this race with Copeland next year.
