IronKids Nationals were held in Tucson (Oro Valley), Arizona on Sunday, October 4, 2009. Hannah and Lane both qualified for the race last month in Alpharetta, GA. Sunday morning was beautiful- cool and sunny- a perfect day for racing. The distance for the intermediate age group was a 150 meter pool swim, a 4 mile bike and a 1 mile run. 
Hannah, 11, had a great race! She swam well, made up lots of time on her bike leg (4/17) in her age group and finished up with a strong run of 7:23 which placed her in 5th.
Lane, 10, also had a solid swim, rode hard on the bike (ranking 1/19) in his age group and even though he did not have his best run he was able to also place 5th which was a podium finish!
Overall, they both had good races and did well competing against some of the fastest youth triathletes in the country.
