OCTOBER 2, 2009 - AUGUSTA 70.3
The Center 4 Triathlon Team had its first race September 27, 2009 in Augusta Ga. The Augusta 70.3 was a great success for the team. The weather was prefect, overcast at race start with mild winds. As the race developed the sun did come out and it got a little warm but nothing to bad. As the course goes, they had a with the current swim which helped everyone have fast swim splits. The Bike was hilly but nothing crazy and the run course was all through the city which made it very easy to watch. We had 5 team members racing all but one raced a sub 6 hour Half Ironman. Our stand outs were Paul Duckett from Orlando FL he put down a 4:23 that’s an awesome time and Dwight Watkins from St Petersburg FL had a 4:55 which as the story goes was awesome as well. He had a mechanical issue, somewhere on the bike his seat clamp broke so he hold on with you know his butt. Then with 5 miles left on the bike the seat fell off. So, the last 5 miles on the bike he had his seat in his hand and was standing up… OMG!!!!
Is that not incredible!!!!
In all the entire race turn out very well. We want to thank all of our sponsors who helped make this Triathlon Team work. Please check the team sponsor page for more information. Our next race where some of the team will be racing is Suncoast tri at Ft Desoto, Long Leaf in North Tampa, 70.3 World championships in Clearwater FL and Ironman Florida in Panama City FL.
