2009 West Point Kids Triathlon

Tori was 2nd female out of the water, 5th female overall. She ROCKED!!

Swim: She swam WAY wide, and still had an excellent swim
T1: Had some trouble with her shoes, and started to go out the wrong exit, but it was much better than last year
Bike: A little cautious coming down the hill, lost a couple of places, but overall did great
T2: Fast and near perfect
Run: She looked like a PRO! Got a cramp, but pushed through it. She left it all on the course!

Since she finished in the top 20, she got a West Point Tri hat instead of a medal. Tori and her friends who also finished in the top 20 would have preferred the medal! But, at least they got a WP waterbottle too.

Final time: 24:32

I am participating in kids triathlons in Israel, and here it's:

6-9 year olds: 100 meter swim, 3km bike, 1km run

10-11 year olds: 200 meter swim, 6km bike, 1.5km run

12-13 year olds: 300 meter swim, 8-10km bike, 2km run

teens:

14-15 year olds: 500 meter swim, 12km bike, 3km run.

most of the times there are more then 150 kids in each age group.. (which is more then 600 kids each time....)

I'm 14 now, and I started all this when I was 8 :)

There are always at least 1500 people from age 6-100 :)
