A great conclusion to the 2024 DKTC Youth Triathlon Season

On September 22nd, 10 members of the District Kids Tri Club participated in the last race of the season - JUST TRYAN IT in Bethesda, MD. The course was pretty muddy due to the recent rain, but all members of the team fared well with only a couple of slips on the run course. This is the only fundraising race we did as a team this year and we raised over $1,500 for a great cause.


We also unveiled our 2024 team t-shirts that feature designs from two our our current team members.




The Year in Review


The 2024 triathlon season kicked off with high expectations and record participation in the club with 22 members on the team this year. We had both returning members as well as lots of new faces, we had people new to each of the three disciplines as well as highly accomplished athletes in swimming, biking and running. Although we had to deal with lots of rain early in the season we had some great practices where we worked on going from one sport to the next and this year we had not one but two of everyone's favorite - transition clinic. The transition clinic is where we simulate a triathlon and really work on the two times you switch activities - swim to bike and bike to run.


Looking Towards the Future


Now that outdoor pools are closed and the weather is turning colder we have to say goodbye to the 2024 season and start thinking about what we would like to accomplish in 2025. The current plan is to start our training about a month earlier than the past few years and try to fit in an early season race (most likely May). We also hope to have a volunteering opportunity for the team to help out at a local race or charity event.
