Triathalon: Round 1 Swimming Summer Camp '22

Haley was more than excited about today, with glee she had signed up for the triathalon and hoped that all her training would pay off today. Baer of course, it was also about the fun of it all and having a bit of a battle with her friends. She was already wearing her swimsuit under her clothes so that she could appear immediately prepared for the first discipline. When she arrived she looked out for an empty spot and immediately spotted some familiar faces.

"Hey Louca!" she beamed happily and would take him in a tight hug if he would let her. "It's good to see you again! Not on the Quidditch field this time but back at sports." She remarked with a smile, "May the better man win." She challenged him with a wink. Before she would go any further, she wished him good luck. "I hope to see you soon and have some time to talk."

As she walked on she spotted Charles and an empty spot next to him. She saw him flexing his muscles and walked over to him laughing and shaking her head. "Hey you flirt." She greeted him laughing and placed herself next to him. While she talked to Charles, she began to undress and get ready for the competition. "I'd wish you luck but I'd rather wish it on myself if I have to compete against you." She joked in an honest way as she stripped off her t-shirt and placed it on the pile of clothes she had put behind her.

Haley was tall for her age and by now the first signs of muscle could be seen on her body. After she started playing Quidditch and used sports to distract herself after the breakup, her body had changed. Besides running, she started bodyweight training and by now, a slight bicep could be seen, especially when she consciously tensed her arms, and baby abs were forming ever so slightly on her stomach. She hoped that her fitness, which had improved so much over the last year, would help today.

When signing up for activities, there was something that struck Bloom about this activity. She was by no means ready for something like this, but she wanted to try. Perhaps it was because she was now an item with someone who was strong and capable of doing something like this. Or perhaps the reason is because she was a part of the Hogwarts Hexwizard team where she would need to be in-shape, and what better to start than with a Triathlon?

Bloom made her way to the line where all participants were standing, her hair in a bun and her outfit ready for a Triathlon. She looked around and saw that there were so many people who were taking on the challenge, both familiar and not familiar. Bloom could see from afar her Damphir. She did not dare to say hello to him as she could tell he was in the zone. She wanted him to continue being in the zone. She felt like she had a lot to challenge at that moment but all had a common denominator: her worth.

Bloom looked out to the water and took a deep breath. She was going to show him, and everyone else, how much she could be useful. Her heart raced at the wait of when everything would start.

When Nessie had signed up for the triathlon, she hadn’t realized there would be quite so many people. It seemed the event was far more popular than she’d anticipated, and while that didn’t scare her away, it did make her nervous. She was still a little bit shy, especially around strangers, and there were countless strangers here. Her competitors, apparently.

Not that Nessie expected to win, of course. Really, she was just hoping to finish the race, and perhaps even to avoid coming in last place. She’d signed up hoping for a good time, mostly with the swimming in mind, as she’d always loved to swim when visiting the ocean with her great-aunt. If nothing else, Nessie expected that the triathlon would be an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, as well as an excellent endeavor to write about in her next letter to Aunt Lulu, who would surely approve. And hopefully Nessie would have fun as well!

It was this optimism that kept Nessie going, even through her hesitance, as she approached the starting area. She realized that several of the competitors were greeting one another, and obliged with a soft “Hi,” of her own, to nobody in particular, perfectly happy to stay out of the spotlight and focus on getting ready for the upcoming event.

As soon as Ronnie's blue-grey eyes landed at the word 'triathlon' on the itinerary that had been passed out when he and the other students alike stepped foot inside the London Quidditch Stadium, the Castelobruxo student could not pass up the opportunity. From Marathon running to Triathalon events, Ronnie was not a stranger to that particular sports world.

Yesterday was a fun day. The Castelobruxo Duellist watched both morning and afternoon Quidditch games. But it was yesterday and today is a brand new day. Before today rolled in, Ronnie run around the camp to keep his endurance up and to keep his body stay in shape. And so when the horde of students that will participate in Triathalon start to go to the designated location of the event, Ronnie falls in line.

Once he arrived at the Triathalon place, he took off his bathrobe-like outer and the sunnies that perched on his nose. When Ronnie took off his robe, it show what was underneath the garment which is one of his swim attire. Blue trunks with red drawstrings on them. Ronnie knows how short his swim trunk is.

It shows his best assets which is his bicep and his abs. His swimmer build is on display for whoever pays or even stares at him. It was funny how nowadays the weather works. Yesterday when he watched both Quidditch matches, it was pouring rain. But today it was a hot day and Ronnie could not wait to dip in the water.

Speaking of water, there is a reason why Ronnie loves swimming or any water sports related. Not only does it keep you fit but it also expands your lungs capacity. Ever since Ronnie could swim, he was never been far away from pools or other water-related surfaces. Dolphin was what his older sister dubbed him because of Ronnie's fondness for water.

His older sister even dubbed him a dolphin. As more and more students arrived at the scene, Ronnie's eyes scanned the vicinity. From the distance, he can see both Charles and Haley attending the event and talking amongst themselves. Ronnie wanted to walk toward the pair but opted not to do that.

If either Charles or Haley looked at him, Ronnie will flash the pair his dimples smile, a polite head nod, and a wave. His blue-grey eyes one more time scanned the premises. Hoping, searching, and wondering if either one of his schoolmates will join today's activity.

Why did she sign up for this again? To beat her dear cousin of course. It would be a friendly competition between the two kids, challenging each other just to get the ‘best functioning muscles’ title. They were always arguing on what kind of sports was the most superior. Aurora was in quidditch as a beater then a seeker, though she rarely played on the actual match, she did the practice like the first stringers. She was also the broom racing captain, again, never played. A tad different from the Ravenclaw, Rodion was a duelist, which according to Aurora was not a real sport. Don’t let any duelists hear those words out of her, otherwise she’d be a dead bird sooner or later. But there was a fascinating fact that she didn’t tell her cousin. She hated to swim. If one would ask her why, she could go on and on by throwing facts and myths for hours. A large body of water terrified her, it made her brain imagine things that did not exist, especially if the water was murky and there was nobody else except her and who knows what lurks under the water, ready to pull her feet and feast on her flesh. It was a good thing that there were lots of people there and the water was looking less creepy.

The girl arrived on the site in a black one piece swimsuit with a flower pattern on the sides. Her hair was tied in a bun, bangs were clipped to the side so it wouldn’t go in the way. A pink swim goggles was in her hand, to be worn later before jumping into the water. She grinned and waved at Rodion then said, “HI! YOU LOOK AS ROTTEN AS ALWAYS!” It was not a very kind and appropriate nickname. Rotten Macaroni. But as Aurora would say, it fits perfectly.

Ayako took a deep breath, making every attempt to calm her nerves. She rarely - if ever - showed her nervousness on the outside, but it wasn't uncommon for her to feel just the slightest bit uneasy before a competition. The doubts of 'what if I can't keep up with the older students?' or 'what if, after all my training, I'm still not good enough?' invaded her mind like parasites, but she silenced them as best she could and remained calm and focused.

Even if she failed, she was achieving much more than she would have if she didn't attempt the competition at all.

She looked at the massive crowd of people who would be partaking in the triathlon. Every single face here was the face of an enemy, and she had to remember that. There was room for neither humanizing these people nor showing hesitation. She had to crush them all indiscriminately.

...except for one of them. She could afford to crush Chi a bit less brutally.

...or, at all. In fact, if anyone here could beat her in the race and still leave her with a smile on her face, it would be Chi. She was already proud of the girl for climbing out of her shell and putting herself out there. If the shy girl won the race, Ayako would be over the moon.

"Good luck, Chi-chan," she greeted with an honest, warm smile. It was a waste of words, and the smile was a waste of her facial muscles, but she didn't mind so much if it was for Chi.

She stretched her legs a bit more, then her back and arms. She moaned happily at the soft pop of her back as she stretched. This was what she lived for, despite her nerves. That electrical feeling of competition made her blood race. Her arms were littered with goosebumps, and it wasn't from the chill of the nearby water.

Her eyes fell on the ship in the distance.

Three laps around it. It was simple. She could do this. She wasn't the strongest swimmer, but she had a fiery determination that none could match, despite their superior skills. She would make it through the round, and she would destroy the competition in the running segment. This triathlon was hers.

Glory. It was one of the reasons why he signed up for this childish competition. Hogwarts really couldn’t do shit, they couldn’t even host a real challenge for the other schools. The triathlon was not challenging enough, surely he could win it without even doing much effort. In all honesty, he wasn’t that excited about it, but his half blood cousin was on a different page. She and her ridiculous ‘best muscle whatever’ award were so excited about the event, and he, as a good relative, didn't want to make her sad. Of course he didn’t grow a little bit of fondness for her. Afterall, Aurora technically was not a half blood. She was less than that, her status in the wizarding society was probably really down there. Unworthy to live. Her father was a half blood and for whatever reason married a muggleborn, tarnishing the purity of the Ranviers. He was almost certain that her father’s heart gave out because of the muggle’s influence. But despite that, the boy slowly started to think that this peculiar person was not that awful. Most importantly, she stayed with him even after his loss. Perhaps he grew fondness for her which made him hate himself even more for considering that. Was this what he wanted? To despise those who had different blood status? Or was it just so his parents would be impressed?

Aurora was five seconds earlier than him, and she looked like she had a sugar rush. Rotten Macaroni. That nickname again. Was it necessary for her to shout it loudly so that everyone who had functional ears could hear it? It was embarrassing, soul scarring, but not really. He rolled his eyes at her remarks and said, “And you look as short as always” Maybe it was the short muggle gene, she’d stay at that height forever.

Letting a rat choose what summer advents she should participate in had not been a good idea. Mochi had decided that Marina should join in the triathlon. A triathlon was basically all the things that Marina did not like combined.

Marina arrived at the meeting place for the triathlon. Just as she had expected--water. Cold, wet water. The place people went and never returned. The unforgiving cold temperatures. The deepness that you just could not see where it ended. That feeling of having nothing to keep you safe except yourself. At least Marina could swim. Or could she? The last time Marina had been in water she was nine and she had nearly drowned! "Remember you're a Gryffindor. You are supposed to be brave," Marina reminded herself. Was doing this brave or stupid. Was it not her who had said something about bravery verses stupidity? Then again, it was also her who made her yearbook quote about conquering your fears.

It was too late to backout now. Maybe if she just touched the water, it would make her feel better. Marina walked over and touched the water. Marina removed her hand as soon as she felt the water. It was still cold, still wet, and still terrifying. "Exactly how deep is the water?" Marina asked the student in charge of the triathlon. This was not her usual I'm Marina blah blah that she always introduced herself with. It did not matter who Marina was if she was going to die.

Secretly, Chiaki had thought about backing out of this competition. It wasn't that she was unprepared, per say, more of the fact that everybody else competing was too prepared for this. All the older students were obviously the more likely candidates to win-especially any of the champions (they scared her), except for a few her age that may stand a chance. Namely, Ayako Yamamura.

If anybody her age was going to win, it would be her. She was the model athlete, dedicated and determined. Chiaki could barely focus on certain things without getting overwhelmed, but Ayako was the complete opposite. It was probably what everyone admired about her.

"Good luck, Chi-chan," her elder had approached her, an unfamiliar smile directed at her.

"And the best of luck for you too. Though I am sure that you will not need it. This is exactly what you have trained for, is it not? To crush everybody under the sole of your foot?"

She looked around, trying not to show nerves as her glance fell on several of the older students that looked quite threatening, with their obvious display of muscular physique. Triathlon was all focused on stamina, strength and general physical ability, of which she was definitely weaker in. The only strength she could think of was her ability to run away from things, which hardly counted.

Kit was pretty excited for this event. It seemed pretty self-explanatory yet still enjoyable, easily signing her name onto the sheet. There was only one part that she was a little worried about, but it came later in the race. Otherwise, she felt confident in her competence to complete these various events. It was just a matter of waiting until the date actually arrived and not getting hurt before then. Or at least, not hurt enough that wixes couldn't fix.

And sure enough, when the 8th of August rolled around, Kit seemed to be in normal health. She tied her hair up tightly this time around, but it still remained in her preferred two space buns. The rising third year shook her head just to make sure it was secure before wandering over to where they were supposed to meet up, smiling down into the water as she passed by it. Upon arriving, green-blue eyes scanned the crowd of people- plenty of people had signed up. She recognized some of them too, a bit of a relief, as people who she had played with just a couple of days ago. It was interesting to be competing with them now after having played with them, but she didn't much mind. It'd be fun to all compete and hopefully get some reward.
