Race Recap: 2012 TriColumbia Kidz Triathlon

Well, it was bound to happen. We raced in a triathlon before recapping the previouse one, and now we're less than a week away from the next one!

The field at this year's TriColumbia Kidz Triathlon was huge! That meant that the herd had to keep their wits about them in transition and on the multiple loop bike course. Fortunately for Coach Christy and our parents, our triathletes are easy to spot in their super cool tri kits. COWgratulations Abbie, Alex, Anna, Austin H., Benjamin L., Benjamin N., Blake O., Brady, Brendan, Caela, Haley, Kaitlyn, Megan, Mikaele, Sam, Sydney D., and Sydney O. on your TriColumbia Kidz Triathlon performances! A special COWgratulations to Alex on his first triathlon as a MINI COW TRI CLUB triathlete, and to Anna, Benjamin L. and Sydney O. on their second place age group finishes!

We've got a barnful of images in our 2012 TriColumbia Kidz Triathlon gallery, so hoof it on over there to see the rest. Next stop for the herd is the Nottingham Kids Triathlon presented by the MINI COW TRI CLUB—the USA Triathlon Mid-Atlantic Youth Regional Championship—on August 25!

2012 Maryland Youth Triathlon Series Spokesathlete Noah Congedo talks to the kids about staying safe in the sun.

Sydney O. speeds out of transition and towards a second place age group finish.

You would not have guessed that this was Alex's first triathlon as a MINI COW TRI CLUB triathlete.

We've got our own Ridiculously Photogenic Guy. His name is Mikaele.

Benjamin L. heads towards the finish line and second place on the podium.

Benjamin L., Anna, and Sydney O. all raced to second place finishes in their respective age groups.

The herd: Haley, Anna, Benjamin L., Alex, Sydney O., Austin H., Coach Christy, Benjamin N., Sam, Caela, Sydney D., Abbie, Megan, Blake O. and Kaitlyn (not pictured Brady, Brendan and Mikaele).

You'll also find the course maps and a schedule of race day activities.

At 16 pages, you don't want to try to read Thy Triathlete Guide on your smartphone, and you should probably be sitting down. But we promise that each and every page is important. If you have any questions about the guide, contact the Race Director at brian@MiniCowTriClub.com.

2012 USAT Junior Elite National Championship

Breanna Hemming, Tamara Gorman and Johanna Gartman race towards the finish at the USA Triathlon Junior Elite National Championship at Voice of America Park in West Chester, OH, Saturday.

Friend of the club and 2011 Maryland Youth Triathlon Series spokesathlete Hunter Lussi was first out of the water for the men at the USA Triathlon Junior Elite National Championship at Voice of America Park in West Chester, OH, Saturday.

2010 and 2012 Bay Bridge Swim Champion and sometimes MINI COW TRI CLUB coach Andrew Gyenis was third out of the water behind Lussi and Farkas at the USA Triathlon Junior Elite National Championship at Voice of America Park in West Chester, OH, Saturday.

Luke Farkas' solo breakaway on the bike helped him hold off Tony Smoragiewicz and William Huffman for first place at the USA Triathlon Junior Elite National Championship at Voice of America Park in West Chester, OH, Saturday.

With a 4:56 per mile pace, Smoragiewicz set the fastest run split but it wasn't enough to close Farkas' lead off the bike at the USA Triathlon Junior Elite National Championship at Voice of America Park in West Chester, OH, Saturday.
