On Saturday i did the Windermere Run Among the Lakes 5k and today, sunday, i did the Great Clermont Triathlon (my second ever olympic distance race.) The 5k didn't go as well as a hoped considering it was a tough course, as it was all on sand with some hills. I finished 4th just under 18 minutes which is over a minute slower than usuall, but i'm happy with the effort.
Today i did the Great Clermont Triathlon, which took place at the Waterfront park, only 10 minutes from my house! Overall i had a decent race, i had a pretty solid swim, putting about 3 minutes on the rest of the field, and an O.K. bike and then a sub-par run, which probably was a result of saturday's 5k. I finished in about 2:07 behind Canadian Bruno Lefante, who caught me at mile 4 on the run. I also qualified for the Best of the U.S. race in Mission Viejo, CA on september 27, being the fastest finisher from Florida.
Overall it was a fun weekend and great racing experience and prep for St. Anthony's Triathlon on April 25th. I look forward to continue developing my run and my bike in the Olympic distance, until next time!
Oh I qualified for the Best of U.S. Race in by being the first Florida finisher. http://www.bestoftheustriathletes.com/news/289
I also got interviewed by the Orlando Sentinel, here is the article: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orl-sportstriathlon06040609apr06,0,2231866.story
