  • Comments: Logistics were excellent, i.e., plenty of cones and volunteers. Race started about 30 mins late do to timing problems. Nevertheless, overall, this was a wonderful course and I would recommend it to anyone interested starting out in triathlons and/or those who just want a great workout. The volunteers, cops, explorers, and park rangers did an outstanding job.

  • Comments: Low-key event. Just wished it had started somewhere near on time. Waiting 30 minutes to go into the water can be taxing on the nerves. Overall, I like the event and will try to keep it in my rotation.

  • Comments: This was a fun little local race. I really had a good time. Peedra and I stayed around to watch a friend from work finish. His wife also entered the race, her first, and toughed it out and finished as well. After Wildflower and Vineman, a smaller race like this can seem a little disorganized, but all the big bones stuff was good. Sure it started a little late, but there were plenty of volunteers, the course was well laid out and clearly marked, the traffic control was very good for the bike, the registration was efficient, and the transition area was well thought out. If all of the big races could just do these things well, isn't the rest really just window dressing? This was a fun little local race and you can't beat the registration price at $40. Schedule permitting, i'll be back next year.

  • Comments: this year i hear was a little more organized than last year. started 30 min late due to waiting for the DOT to clear the bike course and ensure it was safe to race. Overall, this was a fun race - it was a good sprint distance, glad i could do it and finish in a reasonably respectable amount of time with little to no training. :) but this made me realize i better step up my training for Malibu in 4 weeks. ACK!!
