100 Triathlons
Go to the early blogs to read how I got into triathlons. Click on any picture to enlarge it. "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood...who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." Theodore Roosevelt 1910

# 208 Clermont Sprint Triathlon in August

Triathlon #208 today was a tough one. I felt great before the start and did my stretches and warmups with plenty of time. Took it easy on the swim but the heat and wind made the bike hard as my average speed was only 17.1 mph. Run time was ok but my final time of 1:21:08 was poor; ended up 5th out of 6 in Male 70-74 with an overall finish of 134 out of 216. This was a bit discouraging as my July triathlon here was so strong but I still enjoyed the race. When I start finishing 216th out of 216, maybe I’ll retire. Lots of friends racing today; Teresa Tinsley won Female Masters at 63 and Bill Black won Male Clydesdale over 49.
