In any sport, there含羞草研究社檚 no one better to test yourself against than yourself.

For Connor and Holden Berrisford, they can pretty much do just that.

The identical twin brothers from Summerland each have someone who looks just like them, right there on the triathlon course.

含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 like beating yourself,含羞草研究社� Holden said on Saturday morning as the brothers prepared for a fun relay event at Brentwood College School during the Cowichan 2018 BC Summer Games.

含羞草研究社淲e push each other,含羞草研究社� Connor chimed in.

The brothers have been competing in triathlon for about a decade, since their parents, who started a triathlon club in Penticton and Summerland, introduced them to the sport at the age of five or six. They appreciate all the aspects of triathlon, but they share a preference for one element.

含羞草研究社淚 like everything,含羞草研究社� said Holden. 含羞草研究社淏ut my favourite is swimming.含羞草研究社�

含羞草研究社淚 like the open water,含羞草研究社� Connor added, nodding.

Holden was named the top male swimmer with the Summerland Orca Swim Club and medalled at the provincial swimming championships, while Connor was a provincial competitor in both swimming and cross-country running.

As lofty as their previous accomplishments are, the easy-going brothers, who are representing Thompson-Okanagan (Zone 2) say they含羞草研究社檙e at the BC Summer Games to enjoy themselves as much as anything.

含羞草研究社淭hey含羞草研究社檙e very well done,含羞草研究社� Holden agreed.

In their BC Games bios, Connor listed Holden as his role model, while Holden listed their father, Michael. Connor said he wasn含羞草研究社檛 offended by the lack of reciprocation.

含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檓 OK with it,含羞草研究社� Connor laughed.

Holden had no regrets about his choice.
