Youth Triathlon

Hayley and Ella participated in the Upstate Triathlon Club Kid's Training Team this summer.  They trained throughout the summer to practice their swimming, cycling, and running.  This club has some great sponsors and volunteers whose mission is to introduce the sport of triathlons to kids.  All of the training sessions helped them to be prepared to race in the Tri to Cure, a youth triathlon at Furman in August.  The girls both did a great job and had lots of fun.  This was Ella's first triathlon and Hayley's second.  They worked hard and looked great during their transitions.  This race involved 100 meter swim, 2.5 miles on the bike, and 1/2 mile run.  Way to go girls!
