2011 Try Boro Kids Duathlon

For the kid who loves to bike and run, but that may not want to swim, this event gave kids the opportunity to try out a race that was challenging and unique.  Hosted by the Avenue Murfreesboro, the junior kids (ages 7 to 10) ran 0.65 miles to a transition area and then rode their bikes around their campus for 3.5 miles and finished the race with the same 0.65 mile run.  Senior kids (ages 11 to 14) ran 0.65 miles, biked 7 miles, and then ran 1.25 miles.  

The Junior race was paced by two girls that were determined to finish strong,  Gracie Pendleton (24:33.3) and Ainsley Vendur (26:18.9).  As they charged through the finish, several other kids finished in a flurry to recieve their finisher medals.

Awards and gift certificates were given to the two 3 places in each of the age and gender categories.  Below are the award winners.

The Senior kids did extremely well as they pushed through a challenging 7 mile bike course.  With one of the fastest bike times, Maria Botha finished the event in 35:13.2, with the boys division hotly contested by Nick Meyer and Ahren Smith.  The best part of the race was watching each child come across the finish with a smile on their face.  After the event, they had refreshments and then enjoyed the awards ceremony.
