# 159 Clermont Sprint Triathlon in September

Saturday was the fourth and final race in the Clermont Sprint Series.  Today was a bright, sunny day with no wind and a water temp of 82'f.  A lot of friends from Seminole County Triathletes were there along with new friend Ryan Ridge, doing his second triathlon.
I was in the third wave and had a great swim in the calm waters of Lake Minneola, finishing with a time of 9:58.  My bike ride on the Moulton SST was exceptional, with a top speed off Bloxam hill of 39.3 mph, and an average speed of 18.1 mph.  This was probably my best ride at Clermont yet, due to a seat adjustment after the last race.  Taking off on the run I felt great and completed the run in 27:58, crossing the line in fourth place out of nine with a time of 1:18:39.  This was my second fastest time in the series.  After the race had ended, I checked the results online and discover that in the final tabulation of series point, I had won the Championship.  My solid finishes in all 4 races had acquired more points than anyone else.  Trophy and $50 gift card!
Moulton ready to go!
