Youth Triathlons In Colorado

Dear Triathanewbie.com,

I love your site and think it is very helpful, but I'm 12 and I've noticed that alot of this info isn't directed towards kids. Many people do their first triathlon(s) when they are kids,like me, and I think it would be helpful to me and others like me if you gave tips for kids and showed kids triathlons as well as adult triathlons in the events section.

A big event for kids is the ironkids in Boulder or Avon,CO. More events would include:The Rock Youth Triathlon, The HRCA Tune Up Triathlon, The Longmont Kids Triathlon, The 5 Colorado Springs Splash and Dash Events, The Durango Parks & Recreation Kid\'s Triathlon, The PLR Kids Triathlon, The Fall Frenzy Kids' Triathlon, The Tenderfoot Mountain Kiwanis Kids' Triathlon, and The SafeSplash Tri4Tots Kids Triathlon.

I'm sorry this e-mail took so long, but I wanted to make sure you are aware of all of the great kid triathlete events out there, and that there are many kid triathlon newbies out there that could benefit from you guys talking about kid and adult events and preperarion for events on this useful, helpful site.

Thank you for your time

Mitch from Colorado

Thank you for contacting TriathaNewbie.com!

You are our hero! It's very hard for adults for spend the long hours training and preparing for an event. We'd like to give you an "Atta Boy" for taking on such a big sport at 12 years old!

Thanks for sending us the events as well. We found them and added the to our Colorado Triathlon Event page so that others can benefit fro the information.

If you would like to send us some tips for other kids, we'd love to post them. You really sound like you know your stuff and we're sure other kids would love to hear your advice.

Actually, if there are any other kids reading this article and want to send in any tips you think would be very helpful, send the in and we'll post them!
