This wednesday was the 3rd and last part of the T-REX Triathlon serie. This was 3 races on the same course, 1 month apart. This time the water temperature was high (82 deg F) so wetsuits were not allowed. I had a bad swim again, but it did not reflect too much on my time especially since I did not have the wetsuit. I improved each leg over my previous races and got my personal best! I shaved another 2.5 minutes off the race in July.

Here are the comparison of the 3 races from the serie:

I finished in the top 9.5%, 45th out of 474 finishers, which is my best ranking so far! I am very happy with this performance. GPS tracks and performance graphs of the bike and run are available below.
