# 168 Clermont Sprint Triathlon in September

Great race Saturday; triathlon # 168! This was the final race in the four event Clermont series and I went into it in 2nd place. Got there in plenty of time, racked and ready quickly. 

Had a great swim, solid bike; hit 38.4 mph off the big hill followed by that inspiring 7 mph climb up the other side. Enrique Mercado got a great photo of me climbing the first hill. Fast run and finished strong. 

Lots of friend there and many won Series trophies. I repeated the third race, finishing second behind James Mayer. He won the Series with me in second; OK since I won last year.  James won 3 of the 4 races this year.
Next up: Great Floridian Tri in October!

Ready to go!
