Solana Beach Triathlon 2010

Solana Beach Tri was easily the best result of the TriJuniors program yet, with 5 of our 10 athletes competing, and taking two 1sts, two 2nds, and one fourth. One our athletes also was awarded the Dave Martin Scholarship, which is awarded in memory of Dave Martin, a triathlete who lost his life in a Great White shark attack in 2008. Katarina LaJeunesse was awarded this great honor!

What can I say? I love teaching. Here Katarina and Allison study the surf with me, as I point out a small rip current.

The girls get after it above. I love that everyone else is in wetsuits, and they still were right with the leaders, 3rd and 4th out of the water!

The team has also been working on their skills in the velodrome! Here Jordan and David prepare to come off the rails to start an interval! Special thanks to the San Diego Velodrome Association for their partnership with TriJuniors!

Next is Nationals! VERY EXCITED!
