T3Multisports Youth race at Cedar Park Kids Triathlon
On Sunday April 29, 2012 twelve of our youth participated in the annual Cedar
Parks Kid's Triathlon, the largest youth triathlon in the area. It was a great
chance for our kid athletes to get their first race of the season in and to
test their training. Our kids had a blast as they raced, chatted and just spent time
together as a team and with their peers. They had some very promenate
results with Alex, Cole and Rebecca taking 1st places and Emma, Hailey and
Lily capturing 2nd places. Every athlete did a great job and represented
T3Multisports Youth Triathlon Academy well. Congratulations to all our wonderful
kids and thanks to their very supportive parents.
Amber claims Back-to-back Wins
April proved to be an exciting and rewarding month for Amber. She raced in the
Texas High School Bicycling League Race at Midwestern University on April
14-15 and performed a "Hat Trick" by winning the Time Trial, Road Race and
Criterium. She then traveled to Monterey, CA to race the Sea Otter Classic
where she won the Women's CAT 3 Criterium, finished 9th in the Junior Circuit
race and recovered with a 3rd place finish in the Junior Road Race.
Finally, she traveled to Fayetteville, AR to race the Joe Martin Stage Race.
It was tough, she was 4th in the TT and 4th in the Road Race. So she was 9
seconds behind the leader going into Sunday's Criterium. She won the Crit
by 16 seconds and was awarded 6 seconds bonus to win the General
Classification by 9 seconds and winning the stage and General Classification.
Great job Amber! Time for a little rest now.

Alex wins Pace Bend Junior Race
Alex won the junior race at Pace Bend park by 2 minutes!. It was a great race
for him as he started out in the lead but was going so fast that Coach Boris warned
him about riding alone. By lap 3 of a four lap course it was clear Alex was having
a great day. So Coach Boris gave him the green light to press the race. The
driver of the lead car made a comment to the officials (can you believe this kid?)
as he drove the last lap of the race. It was exciting to watch a young man who
started riding competitively just last year, improve so much over the course of
the year. Congratulations Alex!

The Racing Post Winter Criterium
On November 25, 2011 five members of the Elite Junior Cycling team participated
in the first TRP Winter Crit of 2012. This race was during Thanksgiving weekend
and the weather didn't cooperate; it was windy and many jokes were about the
renaming of the crit to the Windy Crit. Amber, Gabriel, Haley, Isaac and TC
all participated and represented the team well in Dallas. The race did not
have a junior category so each athlete raced in their respective racing categories.
Our team was among the very few juniors that participated in the race.
Great off season event and a lot of fun for the kids.
