NYAC TriKids Participate in the
East End Kids of Steel Triathlon

June 2010

On Saturday, June 5, the NYAC TriKids decended on Birchmount pool\stadium in the Beaches area of Toronto to participate in their second triathlon event of the season.

The East End Kids of Steel Triathlon is one of the largest in the province with over 400 participants. The NYAC TriKids had 14 participants representing our club at this event. All of the kids competed hard in the event and looked like real pros after attending our clinic last week where they learned some basic triathlon skills.

Participants at this event included Will Bruhn, Jack Goren and Wade Goren in the 8-9 year old category, completing a 50m swim, 3km bike and a 1km run. Jack McBain, and Erin Smith completed a 100m swim, 6km bike and a 2km run in the 10-11 category. Katy Goren, Sasha Kennedy, Jacqueline Douglas, Nathalie Douglas and Molly McBain competed in the 12-13 division doing a 150m swim, 9km bike and a 2km run. Maggie Runnalls, Palmer Lockridge and Claire Lockridge competed in the 14-15 division and coach Leon jumped into the adult event where both groups did a 200m swim, 9km bike and a 3 km run.

A special congratulations to Maggie and Sasha who looked like real veterans out there while competing in their first triathlon.
