Excleration KOS tri in East Van.

It was Jacqueline's (8) second tri - she came 4/6 in her AG...and Delaney's (7) first -s he came 3/7 in her age group.

Delaney did 50m swim, 1.2km bike and 500m run in 12:15 and Jacqueline did 100m swim, 4.2 km bike and 1km run in 23:50.

here are some pics!  http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1202409&id=586906807#pid=1202409

This was put on by a youth tri club - and I would guess about 1/2 the kids belonged to this (or other) club.  Several of the 8-9 year olds even rode ROAD bikes!

My girls really did nothing to train for this - so I am pretty proud of them!  ANd they had fun which is all that matters in the end - they both want to do more races -so that speaks volumes.

This is a great race for kids if any of you are looking for kids races!

Jill!  Your girls are awesome!  They are sooooooo cute   I think that the KOS program is amazing and I hope that one day my son might be interested in trying it out and having some fun.

Congrats to Jacqueline and Delaney!!

thanks! 

Jacqueline did the Whistler Kids tri in May (Delaney was ONE week too young to enter that one).  They did have lots of fun - Jacqueline ran the whole 1K (she walked a majority of the whistler tri 1.5 k due to bad cramps).....she actually got a bad cramp this time too - but still ran the whole thing(but in the video you can see that for a couple minutes she was not happy at the end)  **I am uploading a couple short video clips to facebook too if you check back later**.

She did Whistler in 39 minutes (100m/4.5k/1.5k) - so a slightly longer course - by .8k (and the the bike was hillier)...but she was less 24 minutes today!

I was actually quite concerned for her at the finish because she was 'acting' just like she did a couple of weeks ago when she fainted (right out cold) in the shower....fortunately the cramping passed in a couple of minutes and she was fine by the time her sister started her race a few minutes later.
