About Me
Hello!
My name is Logan Gartin, I am 10 years-0ld (USAT age is 11), and I love to do Triathlons! My Dad built this website for me in the summer of 2007 to help raise money to send me to the USAT 2007 Youth National Championships where I finished 5th in the nation. On this site, you will find My Triathlon Schedule for each year and the results of each of them.
Most people ask me “How did you get started doing Triathlon’s?” I tell them that if it wasn’t for the Conway Kid Triathlon, that I would probably not be doing any at all. The Conway Kids Triathlon was my first Triathlon. I was 6 years old and about 3 weeks away from turning 7. I finished 9th out of sixteen 7 year-olds. The first thing I said to my Dad was “When is my next one of these?”. My Dad said, “I don’t know!”. Since then, I have done over 20 kid triathlons, 6 – 5K’s, a few Duathlons, and 3 adult sprint Triathlons! If you like to swim, bike and run, I would highly suggest giving a kid triathlon a try. If you like it, do some more!
I have added a section on how I train for a Triathlon. Please click on the “Training” tab and I hope that the information helps you to become your best!
Please take a look around and feel free to leave a comment!
Below, is the original “About Me“ when I was raising money for Nationals.
Hi,
My name is Logan Gartin. I’m 7 years old and trying to get to the USAT 2007 Youth Triathlon National Championships in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin on August 4th. To get there I might need your help. I’m participating in a fundraiser to help reduce the costs of travel, entry fees, hotels, etc. On Sunday morning, June 24th I ran 25 laps at the Benton High School track. That is about a 10K or 6.2 miles. I was going to run a marathon, but after discussing with my very wise triathlon coach, he said that is way too far for my little legs!! The goal is to have people sponser me an amount per lap that I complete. If it’s easier you can just donate a set amount.
With your help I’ll be able to go to make my first trip to these National Championships. So, if you can help, please fill out the contact form and send it in. When I have completed my run, I’ll send everyone the results and photos from the event. Also, you can use PayPal to donate as well.
Thank you,
Logan
Please take a look at the images of some of the events that I have done to get to this point.
