Bengal Triathlon

Triathlon season has started for Tyler and he did a great job. He has been taking a Triathlon class at the college and so training has been pretty intense, exactly what he has been looking for. They have actually turned the class into the CSI triathlon club, so as a club they headed to ISU for their first triathlon.
The CSI Triathlon Club: Tyler is on the far right on the very back row.

Hey there, Tyler

Lookin' good!

This is where they slept Friday night, in the gym at ISU under the rock climbing wall.

Here they are cheering on the last member of their team during his swim. Everyone else had already completed the swim.

The CSI Golden Eagles hanging out with the ISU Bengal.

It was a sprint distance with a 700 meter swim at an indoor pool on Friday night followed by a 13 mile bike ride and 3 mile run on Saturday morning. This was the shortest competition he has done, but it was a good way to start.

He has 2 more this summer that he will continue to train for. I love that he enjoys this sport and I really look forward the next ones.
