# 184 Crystal River Sprint Triathlon

Triathlon #184 is done on October 15. Got up at 2:00 AM to drive to Crystal River on the Gulf of Mexico. Fourth place out of eight in Male 65-69; ten entered. Too many fast old guys in Florida! 

Ok swim with a strong tide, fast 15 mile bike averaging 18.5 mph and solid 5k run. 15 mph headwind out on the bike course but I was rolling at 22+ on the way back. The run is a bit odd as the road is heavily slanted on the curves. Very happy results!

Ready to go!
