How did you get involved with Tri-Kids?:  While I was training for St. Anthonys triathlon, I heard that some of the coaches were training some inner city kids to do the Meek and Mighty kids triathlon the same weekend we would do our triathlon.  I made sure to go out the day before and cheer them on.  My favorite part was when the kids passed by the tent where everyone was cheering, they would speed up as fast as they could and as soon as they passed, they would slow down again.  When I got the email that they were looking for volunteers, I did not think twice.

Favorite Triathlons:  St. Anthony’s and Iron Girl

Triathlon Goal:  Half Iron Ma

Favorite Tri-Kids Moment:  Watching the kids play keep away on the beach after they finished their triathlon.  They were all so happy and having fun with such a simple game.

Why am I involved in Tri-Kids:  I truly believe that kids, who are involved in sports early on, build a confidence that carries with them throughout the years.  These kids love this program and take pride in the achievements they have made through the program.  The smiles on their faces as the cross the finish line is priceless!
