Tri Girl



Finish Strong Racer Hannah Barron took on the Tri Girl sprint triathlon on August 15 with much success. Hannah won her age group and was 26 out of 353 finishers. Not bad for a 13 year old! Hannah reports that the swim was a crowded open water swim and she was in the last wave She swam the course in 7:02, then went on to pass lots of people on the bike in a time of 34:21. Hannah ran the last leg under hot and humid conditions in 26:49 (8:54 per mile pace). Hannah placed first beating the 14 year old behind her by 7 minutes and 13 seconds!! Her total time was 1:09:51.

After the race, Hannah said, "I love racing! And the food afterwards was awesome -- ice cream sandwichs and lots of soda and pizza. I beat my goal of 1:10 by 9 seconds."
