HITS Ocala 70.3

Congrats to Finish Strong's Dana Lyons, Alberto Agostini, Sara Vanderford and Kathleen Crea for competing at the HITS Ocala 70.3 race on March 28.  Dana placed 1st in his AG and 11th overall with a finishing time of 4:57.  Alberto finished 4th in his AG in 5:58.  Kathleen finished 4th in her AG for her first half Ironman side-by-side with Sara Vanderford who finished 7th in her AG.

Temperatures were unseasonably chilly (47 degree) which made for a wet suit swim followed by a bone-chilling windy bike ride, but ended with sunshine and nice cool temperatures for the final run which took place in wooded trails.

Dana running it in for the AG win!
