Just thought I would share a few pics from my recent triathlon, which was race #3 from the Central Florida Triathlon Series on August 17. Overall my individual event times were up and down from race #2, but overall I managed to shave some time, which was nice.

Me exiting the swim, which was at 7:40, a little slower than last month when I came out of the water at 7:25. However I was able to make up some time in T1, bringing that down from 2:06 to 1:36.

Beginning the bike, like a moron, I missed my pedals two times, oh well, overall the bike course was nice and I managed to cut my time a little from 24:27 down to 23:52.

Also coming in to T2 was nice and I was able to bring that down from 1:06 to a sweet 0:35 seconds.

Finishing up the run I felt great and wished I had picked up the pace a little earlier. Still I managed to cut my time a little from 25:49 down to 25:04.

My official results were:
SWIM (.25 mile): 7:40
SWIM TO BIKE TRANSITION: 1:36
BIKE (8 miles): 23:52
BIKE TO RUN TRANSITION: 0:35
RUN (3.1 miles): 25:04
FINISH: 58:45

What does this tell me, I need more time in the pool, I still need to work on my transitions, although to be fair T1 does include a decent run up the beach, and I also need to work on my overall confidence when it comes to running and not be afraid to pick up the pace and really push.

Sadly this series just includes three races, but I look forward to next year and with some proper swim training I am hoping for 55:00 flat on this course.
