Karakung Mini Triathlon

On Sunday, I did the Karakung Mini Triathlon. This is my second year doing this race. A triathlon consists of swimming, biking, and running.  It was a very hot and humid day for a triathlon.  The temperature was 93 degrees but it felt like I was wearing a wool sweater in the desert. First, I had to swim four laps (100m). We could swim any stroke we wanted.  I swam 3 laps backstroke and 1 lap freestyle. Then I biked 1.75  miles. Next, I ran half a mile. There was water at the end! It was very refreshing and cold! I never thought water could taste so good!  The one thing I like about this triathlon is everyone who finishes gets a medal.  Every triathlete got to get in the pool afterwards. I placed 9th out of 21 kids in my age group.  It was a fun triathlon!  I look forward to doing it again next year.

My Favorite "Auntie Katie" and  my Uncle Vin couldn't make it so they made me this sign for good luck!
