Family makeover diary: Month 3

Ria's writings
In Month 3 there were some highs and lows. I think the best part about this month was going to Olympia Sports Camp. All the running and conditioning I have been doing really helped. Stefi and I did the triathlon camp. Running and swimming were the easiest! But cycling was a bit of a challenge. I am not used to cycling up some big hills. Camp was really fun but a lot of work. Every day we swam, cycled and ran but in the final triathlon I swam 350 m, I cycled 10 km and ran 3 km. I completed it in 1:10. I was very happy with that.

The weeks before camp it was hard to run. School had just finished and I didn't have a new routine yet so it was hard to organize myself. After I got into a routine for the summer it was easier to get back on track.

Stefi's story
I think Month 3 is my favourite month because I have a lot of highs but I do have one low. The one low that I had this month was that Sue wasn't here for half of the month and I got a little off track with the running but I did pretty well.

One high this month is that Ria and I went to Olympia Sports Camp and did the triathlon camp. We trained for the whole week then we did an actual triathlon. The triathlon we did was a 350 m swim, 10 km bike ride and a 3 km run. I completed this in an hour and 26 minutes but I wish I could have done better. I think part of the problem was my knee really hurt and I had really bad cramps for part of the race. But I am very happy that I finished and that I did it under 1 hour and 30 minutes.
