2024 Tarpon Triathlon - 3rd Place Finish

Placed 17/71 overall and 3rd in AG at the Tarpon triathlon. This race is the hottest run of the year because you get a double whammy with the sun heat coming down and the stored heat coming up from the road with not much shade. Knowing this, I tried some new strategies. I wore a cooling vest beforehand and then wore my ice cap with Florida water, 2 ice bags stuffed in my jersey and wore a light colored jersey. All helped, but still felt hot. The extra water station definitely helped too. All that said, the run was the highlight of this race. 2022 (3M Run): 9:24 pace 2023 (3M Run): 9:12 pace 2024 (3M Run): 9:01 pace I didn't even realize I PR'd the run until after the race. The 150M swim was good enough at 2:45. The bike was a little short of my goal at 19.9 mph, but the road did seem a bit bumpier than last year along with the wind condition possibly being a little bit different perhaps than last year. Overall though, it was a well balanced race.
