On August 28, Team FSR athletes Scott Peterson, Carolyn Barron, Michael Collins, Steve Hardy, Will Blackbird, and Chris Normyle raced the Olympic distance Clear Lake International Triathlon with distances of 1500 meter swim, 24.9 mile bike, and 6.2 mile run.

Team FSR Scott Peterson was 1st in his 25-29 AG and 6th overall. Scott's splits were swim 27:39, bike 1:07:10 and amazingly fast run of 38:38 (6:14 per mile pace).

Scott reports, "The salt water swim felt pretty good and smooth throughout. I started out in front and stayed up front. I finished 3rd in my age group on the swim. On the bike, I had a tailwind for first stretch (about 10 miles) and felt great. However, the headwind during the last stretch of 10 miles made it tough both physically and mentally. I finished 4th in my age group on the bike. This was my best run of the summer! I finished 1st in my age group and was just 4 tenths away from posting the fastest run time among the age groupers."

Carolyn Barron came in 8th in her 40-44 age group with an overall time of 2:56:55. Carolyn's splits were 35:13 swim (fifth fastest in her AG), 1:19:44 bike (18.8 mph pace), and 1:00:10 run (9:42 per mile pace).

Michael Collins came in 4th in his 35-39 AG and 11th overall with an overall time of 2:18:42. His splits were 32:44 swim, 1:01:44 bike (24.3 mph - and 2nd fastest in his AG), and 41:52 run (6:45 per mile pace).

Steve Hardy came in 8th in his 45-49 AG with an overall time of 2:31:54. His splits were 31:48 swim, 1:06:18 bike (22.6 mph pace), and 51:26 run (8:18 per mile pace).

Will Blackbird came in 2nd in his 45-49 AG with an overall time of 2:29:52. His splits were 30:32 swim, 1:06 (22.7 mph pace), and 51:04 run (8:14 per mile pace).
Outstanding!

Chris Normyle took 3rd in his 50-54 AG with an overall time of 2:46:40. His splits were 29:03 swim, 1:14:52 bike (20.0 mph pace), and 58:02 run (9:22 per mile pace).
