HITS Triathlon Series Ocala Open

HITS Triathlon Series Ocala Open

First Place Overall! I was 3rd out of the water and I passed both the other guys thanks to a 1:20 T1 (the  fastest T1 of the day) However I had problems with my shoes being on the bike and it fell off right passed the bike out. I got passed and was back in 2nd place. After I got my shoes on and caught the guy I got off the bike with about a 30 second lead. I clocked an eleven second T2, fastest of the day. Took off on the run at about 5:30 pace unfortunatly I was a bit too fast for the course because the volunteer to be positioned at the run turn around was not yet in place. He didn't catch me until a little over 1/4 a mile past the turn around... I lost 2minutes overall my run time was 8:35 and I averaged about a 6minute pace.. this error put me back in 3rd and I was able to (somehow) make up those 2minutes lost and still win. 27.7mph bike average for the fastest bike split of the day as well. Overall a great race!
