On Thursday 27 February I attended the NSW All Schools Triathlon at the International Regatta Centre, Penrith. Although it was my first time and I didn’t know what to expect, I knew it would be an awesome day because I was part of a great team and I was excited to participate. There were three people in a team and each person completed one leg of the race. The first person swam 200m, the second person rode 10 or 15km (depending on the age group), and the third person ran 3km. It was a beautiful sunny day and I could tell when I arrived that it was a well-organised and supervised event. There were hundreds of participants from lots of different schools and safety was the main priority. What I enjoyed most was spending time with the girls from my school and making new friends from all year groups. I was happy to see so many people participating and supporting each other. I was also very impressed by all of the professional uniforms and equipment that some of the students had. I highly recommend that more girls from St Pat’s participate in this event next year. I can’t wait to do this again. Thank you to Mr Ashcroft for organising this event.
