Today I took part in a very eghsausting, yet fun and exciting event that I never have before. The Triathlon, an endurance multisport race consisting of swimming, cycling, and running over various distances. Triathletes compete for fastest overall completion time, racing each segment sequentially with the time transitioning between the disciplines included. In this case the Swim – 300 meters, Ride – 16km, & Run – 3km. A select group of students from Year 7 – 10, at All Saints college was chosen to compete in a one day Triathlon organised by School Sport W.A, and I was very fortunate to be apart of this.

As I haven’t competed in a Triathlon before I found it over welliming at first, marshalls yelling, worrying if you are going to get to your race on time, if i’m able to complete the distance? However when we got into the water and starterted the race, all the nerves went away. The race was a long distance however I completed it as fast as I could, and planned the transitions before I went.

In future events like this, I plan to do training for each section prior, as I only prepared for the running and I found the 16km ride very difficult. Overall this day was lots of fun and I gained skills such as time efficiency, sportsmanship, and preparation. All in which will be beneficial for me in various activities.
