RACE RECAP: ESCAPE FROM SCHOOL YOUTH TRIATHLON

Can you think of a better way to celebrate the end of the school year than by waking up at four o'clock in the morning, driving two hours and then jumping into a lake? We can't either!

The Escape From School Youth Triathlon in Bear, DE, is a super sprint triathlon which, in layman's terms, means that no matter where you're from you'll spend more time driving to and from the race than your child will spend racing. We love the Escape From School Youth Triathlon because it gives our triathletes an opportunity at a running beach start and an open water swim.

The Escape From School Youth Triathlon goes by in a hurry, but when it was all said and done the MINI COW TRI CLUB came home with first place in the Female 11-12 age group, and first and third place in the Male 9-10 age group! Next up on our cowendar, the Truxtun Youth Triathlon in Annapolis, MD, on Father's Day.

RACE RECAP: FREDERICK KIDS TRIATHLON

The MINI COW TRI CLUB kicked off the start of the youth triathlon racing season at the TRI-TO "WIN-THE-FIGHT" Frederick Kids Triathlon on May 28. And what a start it was! Not only was this the first triathlon of the Maryland Youth Triathlon Series, it also marked the first triathlon that the MINI COW TRI CLUB raced together as a team, and Anna, Benjamin, Declan, Grace, Jordan, Katrina, Kolton and Megan were all lookin' fast in their MINI COW TRI CLUB tri suits. When the dust settled, the MINI COW TRI CLUB took first, second and fourth place in the Female 10-13 age group, and second and third place in the Male 6-9 age group. Next up on our cowendar, the Escape From School Youth Triathlon in Bear, DE, on June 11.

COWENDAR: FREDERICK KIDS TRIATHLON

Holy cow, we thought May would never get here! Now that it's here, we can't wait to kick the racing season off at the TRI-TO "WIN-THE-FIGHT" Frederick Kids Triathlon. Not only does this race benefit a great cause—it's put on by our friends at the Joanna M. Nicolay Melanoma Foundation—it's also the first race of the inaugural Maryland Youth Triathlon Series. We'll be rollin' into Frederick in style too in our new team tri suits, so we should be easy to spot.

The TRI-TO "WIN-THE-FIGHT" Frederick Kids Triathlon is Saturday, May 28, and there's still time to join us. On the fence? Check out this video from last year and then hoof it on over to the TRI-TO "WIN-THE-FIGHT" Frederick Kids Triathlon and register today!
