  • Comments: First tri under my belt and my wife's. I definitely could have shaved time off the swim and both transitions, but I still came in just about right on my goal (and Liz beat hers, which made for a good day). When Liz decided to go for this and I decided to go along, I didn't know anything about the "world" of triathlon...for instance, that--although Malibu is a "sprint"--this race is longer in all three disciplines than most sprint events. At a more typical sprint, my time would equate to more like a 1:22-1:23, which I feel good about for future events. One side note: Liz and I both did fundraising for the race charity and earned entrance to the post-race "celebrity brunch". One problem: By the time Liz finished (she is a 40+ AGer and started in the 14th and last wave) ALL the food was gone. Because I only just popped my head in the tent to see what they had and went off to wait for Liz to finish, neither of us got any of the brunch. Not a good message to send to older AG athletes
