I'd love to get my son (9) into doing the kids tris here. He bikes, and he started in the school running club last year. He loves the water but would need some formal swimming lessons to work on his stroke. We were just talking about it last week with him and he's interested and wants to swim this winter. We have a great mini-tri here for kids in August.

kelownagirl- it would be so great to get your son into tris. He's interested, so a little shove from you might be all he needs!
I was so impressed that a student of mine got into tris last year. He was 11 and could ride the wheels off his bike, and run like the wind. Too bad he beat me, cuz I got some ribbing from him the day after we did the same tri (although I reminded him that when I was 11 my body wasn't as old and creaky as it is now ).

EV went to the bike track yesterday... Her average speed was 28kph racing around the track... Her max was 35kph!!! That's faster than me just a few months ago!

She's on a kids mountain bike which weighs more than my hybrid did!!! We raced yesterday, I didn't use my tribars, and I was having a hard time keeping ahead of her! Imagine what she could do on a tri bike!!!

We figured out she should be done in under 5-10mins... 1:30 for 100m swim. 3:30 for a 2km ride and she's a great runner...



kelowngirl do it. Get your son involved! EV is having a blast and she hasn't even done her first tri yet...
