My Next Triathlon The My Next Triathlon Olympic and Sprint take place starting 10 minutes before the My First Triathlons, the My Next Triathlon events are also non intimidating with the sole purpose of offering an event to past My First Triathlon competitors who are over qualified for My First Triathlon. The My Next Triathlon also provides an opportunity for the more competitive My First Triathlon competitors to try and catch the My Nexter’s. It even puts a little on the My Nexter’s to go a littler faster and stay ahead of the first timers. My Next Triathlon is also to stop young women from getting married to change their name so they can compete in My First Triathlon again.
