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

# 172 Clermont Triathlon in July

Triathlon #172 is in the books! This was the second Clermont Sprint under distancing conditions.  Water temp was 80'f, bike temp was 81' and run temp was 95' in the sun! I finished in third behind James Mayer and Doc Brown again (though I was catching Doc on the run! Next race!) 
Longtime friends Jeff Cuddeback, Gabrielle Suver, and Bill Black won their categories and my newlywed friends Andreas Moraitis and Kerry Librada Girona finished 2nd and 3rd Overall! Fast couple! Met the Westrip family, all three children were racing.  Everyone was happy to be out racing again.  Sommer Sports did a great job keeping us safe.
