# 171 Clermont Sprint Triathlon in June

Triathlon # 171 for me today, put on by Fred Sommer out in Clermont. Distancing, face masks, self-body marking, 3 bikes per rack, time-trial swim start but it's great to be back. No awards ceremony and bagged food at finish; we just lined up 6' apart and collected our goodies. I had a good swim, great bike and passed a competitor on the run to garner 3rd place: 1:19:46 was my time. 

Race organization was exceptional and the TT swim start was run by an iPad that flashed GREEN every few seconds so it involved a long start line instead of a group wave. Longtime competitors James Mayer and Randall Brown were ahead of me for first and second. Lot of old friends out there too. Hot and humid but it's Florida in June!
Big rack, small bike!
