Felipe Bastos
Felipe Bastos of Maylene, AL, was male overall winner in the third Jacksonville Sprint Triathlon in 50:13, bettering the time of his first-place finish in Sprint Tri #2.
J.C. Pinto
Jennifer Pinto was female overall winner in 56:45, and finished first in all three events in the series.

The third and final triathlon in the Jacksonville Sprint Series ended on a high note, with somewhat cooler weather after a thunderstorm a few hours before, and a field of more than 400 finishers. Here are complete results from DRC Sports.

Congratulations to all of the finishers, and especially to all of our AIR members -- once again we had more finishers than before! Since we usually bring you pictures of runners, we thought we'd change the pace this time and show you our AIR members in action on their bikes. They are pictured in alphabetical order below, along with age-group results for finishers who received awards. (If we missed you, please let us know!) And here is how our AIR members did in the first event on June 19 and the second on July 17, along with a story of a life-saving mission.
