The Trismore is a yearly tradition now.
Emily and her family come. I see old friends there and I have been able to introduce friends to triathlon through this race.
Trismore boosts good weather and they are usually right. Literally, it can be pouring rain for days, but come race morning there is a little bubble over the Trismore and all is well. I am so convinced of this, I wasn't worried when Jody and I were driving out to Strathmore in a down pour. I was actually a little surprised when Emily called and said the bike was cancelled due to the weather. The swim and run were on though. I was surprised that Trismore good weather Karma had failed but relieved that the bike was cancelled. I did not want to be riding in a downpour.
The day started with Missy's race. She moved up a level to the quarter smore. I love watching Missy race. She always has the biggest smile on her face. She inspires me to race with more happiness. Missy swam 100m and ran 1.5km.

I was up next. I did the full smore. 500m swim, 5km run.
I am happy with my results. This was my fourth week in a row racing. My body felt good but my heart rate during the run told otherwise. That is not my own wisdom. My coach explained that to me when I told her I thought I had run faster.

Emily was up next. She did the halfsmore 250m swim and 2.5km run
Emily cleaned house! She was first overall! So proud of her. It is hard for her to get in any practice time.

Zoey was last. Zoey was just two years old on the day of the race. She turned three, three days later. Zoey was so excited to do her first triathlon. She talked about it for months before hand. She was just so sweet out there swimming and running. She finished the run despite a fall at the very beginning.
