Maximus (5) and Miles (8) Bratton recently crushed their very first triathlon! Sure there were a few lows including multiple bike crashes, resulting tears, and the bee that flew directly into Maximus' mouth but there were also a few highs like popsicle bribes, a sense of pride, endless high fives and a super proud dad. Check out Human Powered Movement's latest Short Film "My First Tri" plus an exclusive sit down and thought provoking interview with these high-performance athletes themselves and a quick visual recap of this multisport escapade.
Fire up the popcorn machine and watch as these young men tackle this multi-sport adventure with reckless excitement.

Want to dive deeper into the minds of these elite-level triathletes? The exclusive interview below provides rare access and a first hand account of this adolescent athletic accomplishment.

Don't have time to watch the 5min 30 sec interview? Scroll down to get a 3 picture recap of the day's 3 sports.

3 Pictures + 3 Sports = "My First Tri"

Picture
Dodging roots, rocks, squirrel distractions and scenic waterfront views, these young men made quick work of a solid 1.25 mile run covering asphalt, crushed gravel, soft sand and hard packed trail.
Picture
The homies handled passing vehicles like champs and stayed focused on pushing pedals and accomplishing their goal of knocking out another leg of this multi-sport adventuresome day.
Picture
Instead of following traditional Triathlon order, the fellas opted for paddleboards and not an open water swim. They also hit the water last instead of first just in case, you know, they wanted to play around in the water for a bit to cool off after a tough run and bike session.

Editor's Note:
As the proud dad of these two young men, and the Head Enabler of Human Powered Movement, this simple but impactful effort has reinforced my commitment to the HPM mission of inspiring more activity in people's lives. It doesn't matter if it's your 50th Full Ironman Distance triathlon or a first attempt at stringing two activities together for a mini-multisport adventure. Life is full of opportunities and experiences that are too good to pass up. It starts with simply getting up, getting out and getting moving. We hope you join us along this journey.
