This was Rylan's very first tri. Carter has done a lot (I've lost count - somewhere around ten). Both boys did GREAT!
Transition closed at 6:45am so it was an early morning (I woke the boys up about 5:15am). The swim is in the Nolensville Rec Center pool (where we do swim team), the bike is up Sunset Road and around Sunset Elementary and Middle Schools, and the run is into the industrial park next to the rec center. Both boys did the same length but only competed against kids their same age (age is based on what you will be on December 31st). The swim was 100 yards, the bike was 2.5 miles, and the run was 0.7 miles.
Carter did awesome!
Carter finished 11th (out of 35) in the 10 year old male division (he has a terrible birthday for triathlons as he doesn't turn 10 until mid-November). He did amazing but triathlons get harder to place in as you get older because a lot of kids doing them do triathlons as their main activity (unlike us that do baseball, soccer, basketball, etc as well). But Carter had his BEST time at this year's race by a lot (it's his fourth time doing it).
Swim: 2:30 (Rank - 18th)
Transition #1: 0:50 (Rank - 4th)
Bike: 11:19 (Rank - 18th)
Transition #2: 0:31 (Rank - 9th)
Run: 4:47 (Rank - 13th)
Total: 20:00
For comparison ...
2017 Time - 23:40
2016 Time - 22:46
2015 Time - 23:20 (Carter was 7 so the swim was only 50 m)
Carter took a ton of time off and we are so proud of his effort! He gave it his all!
Rylan set the bar high for himself for future races.
He placed 1st (out of 18) in the 8 year old male division!!! He also gave it his all and did so well! This was probably the first time he's done a race completely solo (I usually run the TryBoro with him as well his 5K last fall).
