With my shoulder problem (plus the water was cold!), I switched to the Sprint Duathlon instead; 1 mile run, 9-mile hilly bike, and then a 3-mile run. Woke up at 3:15 AM with the time change and thought I could sleep a little more, then realized my alarm was set at 3:30. Got to the park at 5:00 with light rain and wind and prepared for the 7:45 sunrise start. Even though it was 70’f, the wind off the lake was chilling and I wore a shell for the first run. Felt warmer getting on the bike and had a great ride averaging 16.2mph with the hills/wind. 5k run was fast but still cool and I finished 10th out of 27 with a 1:18:06; at 71, I was the oldest by far. My friend Ricardo MiroFlecha was coaching some young people and got some photos of me on the bike. Sommer Sports had the Sprint races go first followed by the Olympic an hour later which really kept the course open; two transition areas worked well too.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy-76Rxvqpj5fZK7ufMr6JCmP7_YyyASHmNJIF2eEGhii5Ox7-L6i5dIemYQPpGNhLutY5KcGtwRsfkaLx5hoSWUwbPZjBPuI1dkE17f4-PUcjid_0sp7pq3XhYGRbZqoZ3nT6MILJyCjHi7XTyai5_EBP0jm7UP6ohsLvQVK9E52Dt9efxHjK_SkiI969/s4032/1.jpeg" style="display: block;

This low-key event (no awards) started in 2014 (by Kevin Grogan, in photo) on Super Bowl Sunday but now has grown bigger so Sommer Sports is running it.
I took off at the mass start and had to force myself to slow down as I was feeling it at mile 1; 19:24 time. Jumping on the bike, it took me two miles to find my legs but gradually picked up speed and began passing people. Two loop bike course had a lot of rolling hills and the wind was really blowing on the second loop; 15.9 mph average with a 25.1 max. Second run was hotter than the first as full sun now covered the course. I picked up speed on the second mile (19:15) and crossed the line with a 1:24:18. At 71, I was the oldest competitor and finished 51st overall out of 74. Very happy with the results. Checked out Lake Louisa at the end.

After using Hammer products since 1995, I joined Hammer as a Sponsored Athlete in 2010 and then a Brand Ambassador in the following years, I was elevated to the ranks of Hammer Legacy Athlete. This is the capper to my 200th Triathlon year of 2023 and I'm very happy to be selected.

An International/Olympic distance race with a .5-mile saltwater swim in the Indian River, 26-mile bike along the river road, followed by a 6.2-mile run. I’ve done this race in 2019, 2021, and 2022 and it’s a great finisher for the season (plus I won all three).
Cocoa is an hour away from our home in Orlando, necessitating getting up at 3:00 AM to be there for the 5:30 registration. With a 6:45 start, just after sunrise, there wasn’t the usual waiting time before the race. Water temp was 72’f so I bowed to the inevitable and put on my wetsuit. At this race, you jump off the dock in pairs and begin your swim. Sounds odd but goes very quickly. The water was an initial shock but with the early morning air temp of 61’ it felt fine. My swim time was 18:21, a bit faster than last year. I was in second on the swim but moving to the bike, Jerry Mandello caught me at mile 2 and it was evident that he was pulling away. I settled down to enjoy the race and fight the headwind on the first northerly loop. The river road is amazingly hilly with over 700’ of climbing in the two loops. Rounding the first point, the tailwind pushed my average speed to 16.4 mph. Starting on the second 6.5-mile loop, the headwind had increased but I had warmed to the effort and was powering through it. Hitting the last turn was great as my average jumped to 16.7 with a stiff tailwind resulting in a max of 25.3.
Rolling into transition, my stomach was acting up, so I hit the bathroom, losing 3 minutes. Beginning my run, I was stopped by a hamstring cramp and spent two minutes working it out. After a big swallow of Hammer Heed, the pain faded and didn’t bother me again for the next 5.5 miles. I crossed the line at 3:03.28, my run being about 10 minutes off.
Bobby Dickerson won with an astonishing 2:32:13 (28th OA) in his first race in two years. I was Third behind Jerry but quite happy to have overcome the few setbacks.

With the full iron-distance starting at 7:30 (dawn) and the ½ iron-distance at 8:30, it’s a bit of a wait to start at 9:30.
Everything went well on the swim, bike, and run despite two errors. I re-adjusted the front wheel quick release in transition and when I pulled the bike out, the front wheel was rubbing so I stopped and redid it. Then at the run start, I’d just caught 4th place in transition and left my small bottle of Hammer Heed behind. It stops the cramping problem I’ve had running at other races so my run was a bit cautious. I ended up in 4th out of 7 in M70-74, only 20 seconds behind 3rd.
My friends did great: Hammer athlete Gabrielle Suver won the full-aquabike Overall at 6:36:18, Dawn Lane won F60-64 with a time of 17:51:44 in the full iron-distance, and Teresa Tinsley won F60-64 in the half with a 7:02.17.
I did the half there in 2013 (2nd) and the 1/3 four times (2014, 2016-2018, 2019 got rained out); I hope to finish 2023 with the Riverfront Triathlon (Olympic-distance) in Cocoa in two weeks.

Saw nothing driving into the race site at 5:00 AM but was astonished to see the tornado damage from earlier this week after the race.
Very choppy swim slowed everyone down as did the headwinds on the bike. First race for the NS Speed! I had a great battle on the bike for second place with Jeremy and I passing each other until the halfway turnaround when I pulled away. Speed was very smooth and comfortable; averaged 17.4 mph over the 15 miles with the headwinds. Solid run for my Second Place out of four; 9:29 splits. Second place out of four.
Very happy with the Speed's performance.

Moulton New Series Speed!Away back in 1995, I was looking at Moulton bicycles for the first time, having seen them in various publications. I contacted the dealers in the USA and Steve Hed in Minnesota told he would send me a Moulton AM to try out. It was not for sale as it was one of a pair that Alex Moulton had sent to his wife Anne and himself. Steve had the foresight to insure it as the shipper destroyed the Mouton in transit. He was a friend of Dr. Moulton and visited BOA several times. Shaun Moulton also sent him John Benjamin’s Speedsix in 2002.

Steve was world famous for his advisory collaborations with many pro cycling teams. HED wheels were also very popular in triathlon.
Unfortunately, Steve suddenly died in 2014 at age 59 and Anne Hed kept HED Cycling building racing bicycle wheels to this day.

Fast forward to early 2023, I contacted Anne to see what happened to the other AM. She informed me that her daughter Rebecca was working on clearing out many of Steve’s bicycles and could I help with the Moultons. I reviewed the five Moultons they were selling and gave them my estimates. They asked me to see if any USA Moulton enthusiasts were interested and the bikes were sold. Except one. There was a NOS frame kit for a 2003 New Series Single Pylon/Speed in stainless steel! It had never been built and I was very interested. Since I had already valued the bike, I ended up paying more than I planned but the Speed arrived with two Moulton wheels and lots of extra parts two week later.
Before even bidding I had checked with my friendly bike mechanic, Diane, to see if she wanted to take on the project. Diane agreed, having worked on my Moultons for years and owning five herself. Many of the parts that arrived with the bike were not made for the New Series and we soon discovered the New Series frame was missing a few bits also. The Hope 70mm front hub was missing a spacer and the Moulton front derailleur didn’t reach the outer chainring. Plus, the frame pivot bolt had gone missing too. Dan Farrell sent us a new style derailleur adapter, but it didn’t fit. USA Moulton distributor Loring Kohrt also contributed. Diane was able to find, fabricate, or machine the necessary parts and the whole bike came finally together. The few painted parts on the frame are light grey so the SRAM Force component in dark grey blended well. As it will be my new race bike for triathlons, it is equipped with Profile bull horn handlebars and Profile carbon fiber aero bars with SRAM barcon shifters at the ends. The red SRAM aero brake levers top off the package.
Now to begin sorting the Speed for my next triathlon, # 201!

of hitting #200 this year. I finished 14 tri’s this year (so far), from
Jacksonville (north) to Cocoa Beach (south) and from the Gulf of Mexico (Crystal
River) to the Atlantic (St. Augustine). With all the changes in the world and to
Sandy and myself, I didn’t want anything to stop me. It took me 17 years to hit
100 and only 13 years to reach 200. The odd thing is, that young man (of 40) who
did his first in 1993, felt the same amount of joy before, during, and after the
race as I do today. And to me it’s the pleasure of completing the event
successfully, knowing all the little things that can go wrong and working your
hardest to make them go right. I still look up during the swim leg at the sun
shining across the water and think, “What a beautiful day!”. And after the bike
ride, as tough, long, and hot the run may be, I still feel the thrill of
crossing the finish line. I know one day fate will conspire to stop me, but,
with Sandy’s support, I’ll continue to strive and train to keep that day far off
in the future. By the numbers: 200 triathlons. 35 First Places, 32 Second
Places, 22 Third Places. 89 podium finishes result in a 43% podium rate. 2
half-iron distance, 3 one/third-iron distance, 45 Olympic distance (including 12
St. Anthony’s Tri’s), 150 sprints. More remarkable, No DNS, No DNF, No
Penalties, No DQs. Now, when’s the next race?

Not sure if you saw earlier this week, that
August 8th commemorated my 30th year anniversary of competing in triathlons.
Today’s race was the third Sommer Sports Sprint Tri of the season and a big
crowd showed up. The race director switched the starting order, so the Sprint
started at 7:05 AM and the Olympic distance at 7:35. With the current heat wave
(82’f at start) that was much appreciated. However, the lake temp was around 82’
also! <div>I was in the Third Wave and had a good swim, steady and straight the whole
time. I did have the Fourth Wave (fast women) swim over me several times. It
felt good to get out of the warm water too. Bike ride was great, averaging 17.1
mph through the hills and hitting 38.6 on the big downhill. Passed lots of
people on the climbs. Run leg was hot and I carried a frozen bottle, pouring the
cold water over my head numerous times. Heat (90’f at that point) made my final
time a bit off but I crossed the line in Second out of five in Male 70-74. </div><div>Friends Andreas Moraitis and his wife Kerry Girona were Second and Fourth
Overall. Others included Enrique Mercado, Bill Black (Second in Clydesdale
class), Tom Hedman, and Lester Rilea. Made a new friend too, Justin Grofik, a
Navy pilot from Tampa. Also, another friend, Hammer-sponsored pro triathlete
Gabrielle Suver, won Female Overall in the Olympic distance race. Now to get out
of the heat!</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9oiG8yHQonvYLxiscTm3ioZ7c1ekBALK8bJVL7GfkaT30xz6ER6KdgLiFbT3GMBhzz4sEIQdamFg-akQ8yRaRwf4d8YsqqklORS7hEqSY70O5QMtrJiKAmYmv3Z1pqzSnlOjBL2f6r_S8A5HRNmwtRZGkaqpJXRNeu9HDVjF3M8-spVB92cX7AjOvy7q6/s2048/IMG_4061.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1534" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9oiG8yHQonvYLxiscTm3ioZ7c1ekBALK8bJVL7GfkaT30xz6ER6KdgLiFbT3GMBhzz4sEIQdamFg-akQ8yRaRwf4d8YsqqklORS7hEqSY70O5QMtrJiKAmYmv3Z1pqzSnlOjBL2f6r_S8A5HRNmwtRZGkaqpJXRNeu9HDVjF3M8-spVB92cX7AjOvy7q6/s400/IMG_4061.JPG" width="400" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Founded
in 1565 by Spanish explorers, it is the oldest continuously inhabited
European-established settlement in what is now the contiguous United States.
This was triathlon #198 so I’m getting closer to my 2023 goal of passing 200.
This was a new venue along the Atlantic shoreline in a nice public park. I left
home at 2:30 AM as I knew parking would be an issue and obtained a spot right in
front of the transition area. After racking the Moulton, I checked out the ocean
which was calm with a sand bar break about 100 yards off the beach. While low
clouds blocked the sunrise, the sun broke through just before my start, so the
buoys were visible in the water. It was easier to run through the shallows and
then dive into the waves. I heard the tide was running south so I made sure my
course compensated for that. Exiting the water, I hurried into transition and
mounted up. After two quick turns, the bike course headed down the famous
oceanside A1A highway. At mile 4, one of my competitors caught me. I hung with
him for two miles, but he steadily pulled away. There was a stiff breeze from
the west as I rode along the shoreline, and this translated to a headwind at
several places. I stayed strong and averaged 18.6 mph for the 11 miles. Zipping
into transition, I took off running and was surprised when I caught the guy that
passed me on the bike in a half mile. We stayed together for a bit, but he was
struggling, and I built up my lead. It was quite hot, and I passed several
walkers who were suffering in the sun. I crossed the line with a 5k time of
30:27 for 9:49 mile splits. This garnered me a Second out of four in 70-74. Very
happy! I did meet Susan Haag, the record holder for most Ironman races
completed.

Getting out to Clermont early for the second in the four race Sprint Tri Series, the sky was clear and the sunrise was nice. As I finished my swim warmup, I was standing in knee deep water, chatting with others, when rumblings began and dark clouds loomed on the western horizon. The race director delayed the start for 15 minutes and then asked everyone to exit the water. It began raining heavily a few minutes later as everyone took </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">shelter in the pavilions. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The rain gradually ended and after another 15 minutes, it was announced that for safety reasons, the swim and the bike legs were cancelled. He said they were opening transition, so collect your run gear and the 5k leg would start in five minutes. I hurriedly ran to my bike rack, poured the water out of my running shoes, and got to the start just as the gun sounded. Running out with 220+ people is a bit unusual in a tri but everyone settled into a pace in the cool, damp air. I encountered several friends on the run and got into a good stride. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Crossing the finish line in 29:30 (9:31 splits), I collected my finisher's medal and grabbed a snack. I was scored First out of two in 70-74 Male, 80th out of 180 overall in Sprint Triathlon. My friend Heather Schulz won Female Overall with a 20:41. Other friends, Dawn Lane, Teresa Tinsley and Enrique Mercado all did well too. Got a photo with RD Fred Sommer too.</span></p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj53dusdAHu9uNN3kR5hedZWTZGuAosNVAAVsGL8jRACG9gw6q1XmBZntd0SYVhB64bxVhlstHfJ9QBVIO7_Jx1Xh75F8E76JT70iY_Q4NoWAQ-zPRfONSO2t2VvzI2jxTM-sc7p3AS9o5Hxevgbu-ZrEg4LneTuKz2IQ-kbC4w2ZCUWQqLZRnhK3siPQ-c/s4032/d1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Arose at 2:00 AM Saturday morning to drive 139 miles to Starke, Florida, and do my 196th triathlon at Camp Blanding Florida National Guard Training Base. Several previous competitors were racing and I'd never been here before. This race is usually in downtown Jacksonville but road construction forced the move.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The wind rose with the sun and by my 8:07 AM start in Wave 3, had hit 15 mph. Had a good swim but the bike course's rolling hills were a surprise. Headwinds, tailwinds, up and down hills produced some amazingly fast and slow speeds. I was doing 26 mph one minute and 10 mph the next. The 12 mile course was entirely on the military base. At one point we passed a huge paratrooper training area filled with multiple obstacles. Transitioning to the run brought more surprises as this course also had hills. I felt strong though and ran the 5k in 29:12 for 9:42 mile splits. My overall time was 1:29:47 for a Third place out of seven in 70-74. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Nice BBQ Chicken sandwich at the feed table and two Pavehawk helicopters overflew the transition area at the end. I did get my revenge on Michael Chance's beating me at Crystal River by 8 seconds; I was over 24 minutes ahead of him today. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif;

Couldn’t catch Randall in third though so I finished fourth with a 1:19:12. Kevin Simmons, who I finished second to last week, ended up second today with 1:10:59. Kevin Wagner, who is 66, was the OVERALL winner with a 54:54:82; very fast!</span></span></p><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="background-color: white; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: arial;">My friends Bill Black won Clydesdale and Kelly Burwash Collins won 55-50 Female. </span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: arial;">Fellow Hammer athlete Gabrielle Suver was racing in the International distance too.

text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Great race today at the PineappleMan Triathlon in Melbourne, Florida. This was the 37th Anniversary of the oldest triathlon in Florida with 400+ competitors. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sandy </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">and I spent Saturday night there and I avoided the long drive on Sunday morning. Big full moon over the swim course at 5:30 AM. </span></span></div><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The race begins with a .25-mile swim in the Indian River Lagoon, jumping off the dock for an in-water start, swimming around the pier’s end, and climbing stairs back up to the pier. The shoreline in the river is rock with oyster beds under the water. I really enjoyed the swim, clipping right along, and had no issues with the stairs. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Jumping on the bike for the 12-mile bike ride, I sped a mile through the neighborhoods to get to A1A, the road along the Atlantic shore. Racing along at 19.9 mph, I thought I’m really flying and then I noticed the roadside flags whipping in the wind. My average speed reached 19.1 mph at the 6-mile bike turnaround, and I encountered a stiff headwind on the northerly return. My average speed dropped to 18.5 by the time I hit transition. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Racing out for the 5k run, the cooling headwind felt great, but I knew what was coming. I never saw any of my eight competitors in 70-74 but pushed hard as I could. The run back was downwind, and it got hot quickly. The closer I got to the end, the more wilted people I passed walking. Hearing a distant rumble, we saw that Space X launched a Falcon 9 rocket, so we got to watch it climb to the heavens. I finished the run, averaging 9:35 mile splits with an overall time of 1:24:35. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #050505;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I only did this race in 2014 and finished at 1:28:18, over 3 minutes slower, so I was quite happy. Kevin Simmons won 70-74 with a 1:13:43, almost 10 minutes ahead of me in 2nd place and six more men were behind us. The trophies are quite unique, a pineapple tagged with your finish place and there was a great breakfast served to all. Got to meet Al and Lois Leon from Miami, both competing in Aquabike. Really wonderful event!</span></span></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8e8asGEpSAUTRilDrFGHkH19gcekP6yfLsztHrCBKzRw1N6qiM94VnVqfz1ad-yeW5fAPyTeq2foDI7yO6tmyrbaswuUcnVp411mlO3pBxToU2GpUBQuiwO6zMqhyv0Z_OVgx0Iau1Bq77WEW3DyGiVoTlqAxKsSpfhXrh3CUJHPzHVgl3CIA2i55GA/s4032/IMG_2712.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto;

color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Triathlon #193 today at Crystal River, Florida! Cool start, with 62’f and 15 mph winds at dawn. I’ve done this race before, so I was looking forward to a good time. After last week’s race in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico was a welcome change with the water temp at 82’f.</span></p><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">All Males were the first wave, and the light chop and strong tidal current made it interesting. I got pushed off the swim line and worked hard to get back. OK swim time, so I pushed hard on the 15-mile bike. The twisty course was made tougher by the headwind I kept encountering during the direction changes. I knew I was in Third on the bike and wanted to catch Michael Chance before T2. </div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Despite my averaging 18.16 mph, I spotted Michael putting on his shoes as I racked my bike, and he got out of transition about 1.5 minutes ahead of me. I focused on him, determined to chase him down. I could see I was closing so I kept pushing and caught him with a mile to go. AT that moment, my right hamstring cramped slightly so I backed off. I caught him again about 200 yards from the finish and felt the pain again. I stayed with him but couldn’t catch him and I was 8 seconds behind at the line. I did post a faster 5k run time than him; 27:33 with 8:51 splits. </div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My final time of 1:32:03 was over 17 MINUTES behind the 70-74 winner, David Morrow (USA ranked #1 and 4th in the world), who was 20th Overall.

color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I arose at 2:00 AM Sunday morning and drove 2+ hours to the Vero Beach Triathlon, on the Atlantic Coast. Sprint Triathlon with a longer swim; .46 mile. I’ve never done this race before so for my 192nd triathlon, this looked like a good challenge. Only knew a few people there which made it great to make new friends. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ocean looked nice before sunrise, but a big swell developed by race start. The swim was a bit tough, and the rise and fall made sighting the buoys difficult. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bike ride down Route A1A along the water was fun as I pushed hard, passed a lot of people, and averaged 18.9 mph over the 12+ miles. The 5k run was hot and humid and I definitely need more heat training; time of 31:21 with 10:07 splits. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Final time was 1:38:08 for a fourth place out of seven in 70-74. Long time friend Matt Mahoney passed me at Mile 1 on the run to win 65-69.

It felt odd going to a race so late in the day rather than getting up at 3:00 AM. Scoped out my 3 competitors before the race and realized I didn’t know any of them. I always race just to enjoy the experience anyway. Oddly enough, I was given race number 192.</p><p>The wind picked up just before the start and Lake Minneola was quite choppy. Good swim and quick transition to bike, beating a competitor out of transition. The wind made the hilly bike ride more interesting, but I just pushed hard and finished with an average of 18mph; 28.8 max. Took off on the 5k run quickly, looking to see who was ahead of me. Since the run is an out and back, I kept studying returning runners but didn’t see anyone. Then at the turn-around, I began scrutinizing people coming towards me. Kept pushing hard to the finish and crossed the line, not knowing where I finished. </p><p>Scanned my race number for the report and discovered to my delight I had won! I was a bit stunned but very happy and a beautiful sunset capped the day. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjusX2s8BAIubAATCXaCmeT9T-SbXybt1FSopbfHnFxJiJvB7Bubo25_paIhBvwqatBxrKv5m7t9_KAKBkLuy5ILweRWduACK7xIQEC9PgE_7FByngchndq5zSw6Dlwj3LcsXM1PZvHnbm6sQa6VldwEUi5lkA7otg3iHeSBW3mbWvUcppyzJKWnD27pQ/s4032/IMG_1833.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I had never done this race before because it was usually cold, but the warm Florida spring brought the Banana River up to 79'f at race start. Big race; 650 competitors!</p><p> Twelve-mile bike leg on A1A along the Atlantic Ocean was fine with a very fast 19.2 mph average speed. 5k run was on the golf course cart path with nice water views and no shade at all; 29:55 was my time. Total time 1:21:50. </p><p>Friends Kerry Librada Girona was First Female OA and her husband Andreas Moraitis was First in Male Elite. Mike Moulton, Bill Black, and Enrique Mercado were there too. </p><p>This was also the Florida Senior Games Championship, so I got a Third Place medal for that.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

With my plantar fasciitis acting up, I opted for the Saturday Sprint Tri. Winter/March races in Florida can be a bit chancy on weather, but it's been so hot, the water temp was 74'f on race morning. Air temp was 59' though and the wind was picking up at dawn.</p><p>The olympic distance started first and the lake was quite choppy by the time we started. I found myself struggling against the chop and my final time was a minute slower that the previous time. Jumping on the Moulton, I headed out onto the first hill, watching two people in the wrong gear fight to climb it with one toppling over. Passing them quickly, I hit the second hill and made the turn to head through town. Going around the lake was tough, with a strong headwind most of the way. Passed a bunch of people even with the wind, averaging 16.5 mph.</p><p>I reached transition and took off on the run. My foot felt fine and I gradually increased my pace, feeling faster with each step. The cool breeze helped too. My mile splits were 9:27. I crossed the line with a 1:13:42 resulting in a Third out of six in 70-74. Very happy with the results.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggE5e_b01I2kj8zC5DKri773nPaY1C-x5Vm_psdu3j2qdoQhnDdhjVCFwsvxJv_qTdKqh8UlyOwJ_OjluPo2VeRjVOko2NAiMKNzHqiNleHlLtJm7rKqr2KHqVoTV0NgzroG4ZVduJLYU0tG9Y97OcpbboBShN7GM1YE6FziG8Am4DF2DhDbzNadS5GQ/s4032/d1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

However, he was faster on the run and my legs were crying so I told them, “Shut up, legs!” Stayed strong and finished second out of six in 70-74; first Tri in new age group.

My first race in the 70-74 age group!</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I'd never raced there so it was a complete unknown. 5K run followed by 20k bike, and then a 1.5k run. The run course was hilly and sandy through the tree nursery, the bike course was very hilly and very windy and it was 50'F at the start; it was wonderful. I met several friends there and really enjoyed myself. The 2022 race had three guys in 70-74 but I was alone today. First Place finish in 70-74 with a time that would have been 3rd in 60-64 so I was proud. Felt strong throughout the event.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkm2rxDL6yR0RYxlwITznUhBgZxWXB3FMT6YHUNFMKhfv6sYVgY5d3VrGVOM6uGoyWn4P3HJUwdNKLWM0x0Z_nC5BycIwjlaFuShwJGDKjlTMws4EuB2VoSfX-HPk7xnaOTdhVkJFVs7GDYw7nmezvE6ClrQ2ipzVQ8Q30mT7TaOICmgyiEuAIV0OQJw/s4032/q2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sorry if my race report is a bit long but let me start off by complimenting Chef Sandy Finucan on the fabulous ham-mushroom-bacon deep-dish quiche she prepared Saturday afternoon before the race. This delightful dish gave me to the power to finish strong.</div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I awoke Sunday morning at 2:30 AM (fall time-change) for the drive to Cocoa, Florida, for the Riverfront International Distance Tri on the Indian River. My 186th triathlon and probably my last tri of the season and the 65-69 Age Group. Arriving plenty early as you never know what can delay you (and I-4 was closed for an accident, and I detoured) I got the bike staged and prepared for my longest race in 2022. </div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The .5-mile swim start was staggered with 2 swimmers jumping off the pier at 4 second intervals. Immediately I felt the much-discussed thimble jellyfish sliding over my body. They don’t sting but felt like Jell-O blobs passing over you. I had a strong swim, almost 2 minutes faster than 2021 at 18:36, for first. </div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Heading out on the 20-mile hilly bike course (shortened 4 miles due to construction), I watched the scattered showers approaching off the Atlantic Ocean. Sure enough, rain started about mile 4 for 5-10 minutes. Nearing the turnaround for the first loop, it began again and then again around mile 16. The sun shone brightly between the showers and there was a 10-mph headwind on both return loops. I passed #42, who beat me out of transition at mile 3 but he passed me at mile 12 as I slowed to refill my aero bottle. I retook first place at mile 14 and rolled into T2 about 68 seconds ahead.</div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Starting the 6.2-mile run in 84’f sun, I felt very strong and was 84 seconds ahead of #42 at the first turnaround. I lost him at the second turnaround as he removed his bright yellow top and moved his number to the side. At the last turnaround, my lead had shrunk to 48 seconds, so I stepped up my pace. Suddenly, at mile 5, my right hamstring cramped badly, stopping me instantly. I stretched it out repeatedly and tried running, but it cramped again. Stretching again in the middle of the street, I saw #42 pass me and I thought that my win had gone. He was about 100 yards ahead when I realized I could run again and began the chase. I ran slowly, gradually building speed as I saw I was closing. With about ¼ mile to go, I realized he had slowed, and I surged past him. I didn’t want to look back to see if he was chasing until the last turn and I saw him about 2 blocks behind. I pushed hard to the finish and won in 2:33:56, 42 seconds ahead of #42. Very happy with this win, as it was tough.</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm77gBCTkBVanlH405mmZVbvJc4mjShxLKuGqVjW_YlcDdPW2ohXfVBB8phtor9lJ5YRwMW0L_qVmpV_lLegxPQFM_JGukvCd0NWqVGUvtg6kZZzNAhufoCGPYujoiqEHSI4oUsIv0Az5Zi7kps5vIrm81sIz0ilcS7BOWjBqw6VCwjUu5YOuj6TU7VQ/s4032/IMG_7896.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

My Sprint started at 9:15, air temp 55’f, water temp 68’ with a 10-mph breeze across the lake. I brought my wetsuit but decided to skip as the temp was borderline for me. </p><p> It was cold but the chop was the difficult part. Lost a minute in transition putting lube on a heel blister and my bicycle leg was one mph slower than last year due to the wind and several holdups behind groups of cars. I had a great 5K run though, with 9:04 splits and took 1:30 off my last year’s finish with a 1:11:24. Achieved a podium spot with a 3rd out of 7 in 65-69. </p><p> Friends Rob Marens, Kenyon Congdon, Bill Black and Enrique Mercado were there, and I ran into Jeff Cuddeback making a brief stop on a training ride. Also met a women named Naomi Youei in Hammer gear; she was doing the run leg for Nicholas Castellano as a Hammer Nutrition team. Got there early so the Hammermobile was in the first spot. Passed out a lot of samples to people. Great day in Clermont!</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXwJJrUrkykzwVlyPFCykCLorD2ViYaQhbCIht0_CCxelY30nY5AqrSDrZxbfLUjKgnAet7v-uARAL3JSra6DuWfiSz7Yv9rmaG1TlYPANWqS-jUEX3a7ROv5u9B6JEzmVTRzwHWemuhsSb3Mz-8AyL4dQVvP0RpU1W7AgjsWG6Hb3KrGGF5xOLe93Ew/s4032/IMG_7587.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;
