6 friends from up north decided to come to Hawaii to participate in our premier all women’s triathlon the Na Wahine Sprint Triathlon. Long story short, they couldn’t make it for the Aug. 30 event so we decided to put on the first annual International Na Wahine Sprint Triathlon for them.

I couldn’t turn down Trish, who is also a cancer survivor. She and her 5 friends have been buddies for years and Try Fitness wasn’t about to let them down. So, we called on the rest of the Team who happily agreed to help us put on the event. All of the Try Fitness’s coaches were out to make sure everyone was safe and each of the Canadians was paired with a Try Fitness woman to be her buddy and race along side her.
We swam in the beautiful waters of Kaimana Beach, cycled around Diamond Head, through Kahala and back to Kapiolani Park for the 5k run. We learned that they call a swim cap a “squid lid”, which we of course thought was wonderfully humorous. 2 of the Canadians were designated cheerleaders and one dressed in a grass hula skirt with a coconut shell bra to complete the experience.
We had an award ceremony afterward and ate great food at our Pot Luck to celebrate the day. It was truly rewarding to see them so excited and appreciative of our support.We have new friends in Canada and we look forward to our second annual event next year.
