South Loop sixth grader Theodore Morrison was one of only six kids to complete the Daytona Challenge Triathlon, which took place in December. Along with 600 adults, Theodore finished a 15-mile bike ride, a 5k run and a 900 meter swim.
I asked Theodore some questions about his experience
Q: How long did it take to complete the triathlon?
A: I finished in 2 hours
Q: Were you the first one to finish?
A: No
Q: How long did it take to train for it?
A: I’m not sure how long I trained, but I had to train for it.
Q: Did any of your other family members compete in it with you?
A: No. Just me.
Q: Did you have to go on a diet for training purposes?
A: No. But I had to eat well and healthy.
Congratulations, Theodore! You make South Loop proud!
