Pre-race routine:

The was a reverse triathlon at the Los Alamitos Join Forces Training Base. The run and ride were done on the runways while the swim was done at the National Training Center for the USA Water Polo team.
The weather was terrible the morning of the event with heavy rain. Because of the flat terrain, there was a lot of standing water and several crossings with ankle deep water.

What would you do differently?:

The swim was my weakest leg. I did not properly prepare for the swim. I need to start swim training sooner rather than one week before the race.

Event comments:

This was my first triatholon so I have nothing else to use as a comparison. I really enjoyed the event and would be interested in participating again next year.
