肇庆铁人三项系列赛于11月16日和17日举行，清澜山的学生与老师们分别参加了青少年铁人三项赛与成人组比赛，并在赛场上表现出色，尽展风采。
铁人三项是一项极具挑战性的多项运动，包括游泳、骑行和跑步，其中的过渡环节至关重要。参赛者需迅速完成从游泳到骑行（称为T1过渡）以及从骑行到跑步的切换，同时与时间赛跑并遵守严格的规则。比赛使用计时芯片，确保每位参赛者的成绩精确记录。
在11月16日的比赛中，来自8-6班的学生付子墨参加了青少年铁人三项比赛。这项赛事包括500米公开水域游泳、10公里骑行和2.5公里跑步，总计13公里。付子墨展现了卓越的毅力，最终在同年龄组中获得第8名。
这是我第二次参加铁人三项比赛，比赛过程可能有些混乱。例如，在游泳阶段，我被一名成年男子踢到脸部，导致我浪费了一些宝贵时间。
但当肾上腺素激发时，你会变得专注，努力坚持下去。即使身体疲惫，头脑依然清醒且充满决心。

11月17日，教师马拉奇·希伦（Malachy Sheeran）和卢克·莱恩（Luke Lane）参加了成人组比赛，表现不俗。
卢克首次挑战半程铁人三项距离，这对于他的第一次铁人三项比赛来说是一个非凡的成就。他完成了总计113公里的赛程——包括1.9公里游泳、90公里骑行和21.1公里跑步——最终以6小时30分钟的成绩完赛，令人惊叹。
Mr. Luke
当太阳升起时，金色的光辉洒在肇庆那被群山环绕的宁静湖面上。站在水边，我感到兴奋与期待交织，准备迎接我的第一次半程铁人三项。每一次划动湖水，我都充满了激动，眼前的壮丽风景模糊成一片鲜活的色彩与声音交响曲。
骑行阶段让我精神振奋，清风掠过我的头发，我穿过绿意盎然的蜿蜒小道，两旁是热情的观众。跑步阶段如同一幅动态的画卷，每一步都被汗水和决心铭刻。当我跨过终点线时，一股情感的旋风将我包围——自豪、喜悦以及深深的成就感，这些将永远铭刻在我的记忆中。
马拉奇则是一名经验丰富的铁人三项运动员，同时也是清澜铁人三项队的教练。他参加了标准距离铁人三项比赛，包括1.5公里游泳、40公里骑行和10公里跑步。他凭借卓越的表现，在其年龄组中获得第4名，仅以20秒之差无缘第3名。
Mr. Malachy
这是一个极好的赛道，水质条件不错，但稍显拥挤，骑行赛道快速而风景优美，但偶尔会出现危险的侧风，几乎让我摔下自行车。
我的过渡环节可以更快一些，但整体而言，我对自己的游泳、骑行和跑步表现感到满意。当我冲过终点线，所有的疼痛都结束时，那种激动人心的感觉难以言喻。我已经迫不及待地期待下一场比赛了。
完成铁人三项比赛不仅带来了深刻的成就感，还在运动员之间建立了深厚的友谊。
随着这项运动在中国的热度持续升温，它为爱好者和参赛者带来了无限的可能和期待。
肇庆铁人三项系列赛不仅展现了参赛者的奉献与毅力，也彰显了这项挑战性与回报性兼具的运动所激发出的无尽热情。

The Zhaoqing Triathlon Series took place on November 16th and 17th, showcasing impressive performances from both students and teachers. The event featured a junior triathlon on Saturday and adult races on Sunday.
A triathlon is a demanding multi-discipline event comprising swimming, cycling, and running, with transitions between each leg being a crucial aspect. Competitors must seamlessly shift from swimming to cycling, referred to as Transition 1 (T1), and then from cycling to running, all while racing against the clock and adhering to strict rules. Timing chips ensure accurate tracking of each participant’s performance.
On Saturday, Grade 8-6 student Zimo Fu competed in the junior triathlon, which involved a 500-meter open water swim, a 10-kilometer bike ride, and a 2.5-kilometer run, totaling 13 kilometers. Zimo demonstrated remarkable determination and secured 8th place in her age group.
This is my second time entering a triathlon competition, Competitions can be chaotic. For instance, during the swimming portion, I got kicked in the face by a grown man, which cost me precious time.
But once the adrenaline kicks in, you become focused and push through. Even when your body is tired, your mind stays alert and determined.

On Sunday, teachers Malachy Sheeran and Luke Lane represented the adult category with stellar performances.
Luke participated in the half-Ironman distance, an extraordinary feat for his first-ever triathlon. Covering a total of 113 kilometers—1.9 kilometers of swimming, 90 kilometers of cycling, and a 21.1-kilometer run—Luke completed the race in an impressive 6 hours and 30 minutes.
Mr. Luke
As the sun rose, its golden rays illuminated the serene lake surrounded by Zhaoqing’s majestic mountains, Standing by the water’s edge, I felt a mix of excitement and anticipation for my first half-Ironman triathlon. Every stroke through the water filled me with exhilaration, as the stunning scenery blurred into a symphony of colors and sounds.
The cycling leg was invigorating as the wind rushed past me while I sped through lush, winding roads lined with enthusiastic spectators. The run felt like a living painting, with each step etched in sweat and determination. Crossing the finish line was a whirlwind of emotions—pride, joy, and a profound sense of accomplishment that I’ll cherish forever.
Malachy, a seasoned triathlete and coach of the Tsinglan Triathlon team, competed in the Olympic distance triathlon, which included a 1.5-kilometer swim, a 40-kilometer bike ride, and a 10-kilometer run. He showcased his expertise by securing 4th place in his age category, narrowly missing 3rd place by a mere 20 seconds.
Mr. Malachy
It was a fantastic course with good water conditions, although a bit overcrowded,The bike course was fast and scenic, but dangerous crosswinds added an extra challenge.
My transitions could have been quicker, but overall, I’m happy with my performance. Crossing the finish line brought a wave of exhilaration, and I’m already looking forward to the next event.
Completing a triathlon brings a profound sense of achievement and fosters camaraderie among athletes.
As this sport gains momentum in China, it promises an exciting future for enthusiasts and competitors alike.
The Zhaoqing Triathlon Series highlighted not only the dedication and resilience of its participants but also the growing passion for this challenging yet rewarding sport.
