  • Comments: Ended up about 20 minutes faster than last year, most of the time was made up on the bike. Just need to watch out for the speedbumps as I heard there was a crash in the Classic Distance race on Sunday involving 2 riders and 1 speedbump.

  • Comments: I always end up doing this race at the last minute because my employer is a sponsor and comps the registration, but honestly, after doing this one two times, I have nothing bad to say about it. Nautica Malibu is a great race, albeit slightly spendy $$$ if you're paying the registration out of pocket. Definitely one of, if not the nicest swims of any tri that I've ever done.

  • Comments: This was a very tough pill to swallow. I should also mention in the interest of full disclosure that Tim Hola was there but raced elite. He's a top 35-39yo and finished 3rd at IM 70.3 WC last week in Vegas...he went 2:02:xx and crushed us. That didn't feel good. One thing the winner said to me that really made me feel like crap was "Hey, I guess the fast guys didn't show up today". That really hit me hard because he was right....or right and wrong. The fast guy did show up and happened to race Elite even though he is an age grouper normally. It really lite a fire under me to keep pushing to get better. I want to be up there battling with the best. Does that mean I want to go Pro? No...I started this far too late in life to get that very last bit that it would take to compete as a Pro. But I do think I can compete with the best AG's. I do think I have what it takes to do that...so that is my goal. I know it will probably take a few years but so be it. I will continue to do everything

  • Comments: I'm 24 and if I was still competing in the 18-24 group I would have WON! but I turn 25 soon so I was in the 25-29 group for the first time for this race. those girls are fierce! The ocean can be unprdictable.The bike is somewhat challenging but the run is flat. train on rolling hills and you'll be good to go!
