On a chilly and windy morning, Ciara set out to compete at the Meek n Mighty triathlon down in St. Petersburg. Her competition came from all parts of the country, particularly Illinois, which boasts the powerfull Multisport Madness triathlon club. The club has some of the fastest juniors in the world.
A little apprehensive due to limited training over the last month due to various reasons, Ciara jumped in the 200m swim with hopes of just doing her best and coming out the other side healthy. The pool swim was very crowded; nonetheless she posted a great time, almost 40 secs faster than last year, and with limited swim training.
The bike was very windy, but she motored through with one of the fastest bike splits. A little discomfort found it's way in Ciara's knee early on the run, but she put her head down and finished strong, second in her age group and 3rd overall. Not necessarily what she wanted, but considering the circumstances, a great race and she brings home some hardware.
We look forward to beginning a great block of training that will prepare her for the Youth Jr National Chapionships in San Diego in August.
Get psyched!
