Our daughter decided to start triathlon training at the end of last summer. Since she’d never completed even one level of swimming lessons, we really weren’t sure how this was going to work. The coaches for TriNB and Fredericton Triathlon club said “don’t worry about it, we’ll get her ready in time” and they did not lie!

Here we are not even one year later and she is doing it! She has put in the work, showed up for early morning training at the pool and listened to her coaches. She is a beautiful swimmer and it was so much fun to watch her at the local club’s first event this season.

I can’t imagine doing all these things back to back (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run) but they all did it and managed to smile and pose for me at different points during the race.

Here are a few images from the event and I can’t wait to see her compete more this summer and see her progress!
