We had 13 children participate in the first annual Get Fit Families Sea Otter's Youth Triathlon Camp.  The kids had a great time while continuing to work on their swimming, cycling and running skills. 

Each day at camp, the kids were able to swim, bike and run, work on transitions, have free time to play and learn about nutrition and how to make their own healthy snacks.  We also visited the local bike shop, Dapper Bicycle to talk about bicycle safety and we had a visit from Dr. Amanda Jordan of Jordan Chiropractics who talked to the kids about nerves and how they work.

The last day of camp the kids were able to participate in an actual triathlon.  The parents were able to show up and cheer the kids on to some great finishes.

In 2011, Get Fit Families plans to announce 2 to 3 summer camps for children ages 4-13.  If you have any interest in having your child attend a camp, please email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Pam Fredericks stopped me at Youth Run Club last Tuesday to tell me about a pain she was having on the top of her foot.  Directly above where her cleet clips into her pedals on her new bike.  Since she is new to cycling, we thought she may have been pedaling wrong, pushing down too much or twisting her foot in a way that extra pressure was being applied.  Pam is just coming off a serious hip injury and is back to running.  We certainly didn't need another injury.
