  • Comments: This is a great early season race and a great race for anyone that is doing their first tri and don't want to deal with a wetsuit and ocean swim. Chris did fantastic, but the swim was just overwhelming to her. She knows that is where she needs to work.

I had a major improvement from last years race I am also lost a lot weight in the last few months. So that helps. Next race is 2 weeks in Pasadena! and then 3 weeks later in Oceanside. Lots of participates and as usual a big thank you to the volunteers from the military people, parking people, and the race volunteers. THANK YOU

  • Comments: They were very organized! It was a fun race. They offered 4 free clinics in the months leading up to the race. I would recommend this race for any first time triathlete. If I had entered as Athena which I well qualified for, I would have placed 8th in a field of 39. Top 10!

  • Comments: Fun race overall. Despite the wind, great for beginners or just to do a race for run. Not as expensive as other local sprint tri's. Very close to my house, less than 10 min commute time. Will do this one again.

  • Comments: Race was slightly longer this year due to construction on the base. Messed up and stopped my garmin instead of hitting lap going in to T1, fixed it coming out on the bike, so took the times from the results. Did see someone pass me on the bike with what looked like a BT on their calf. (edited to correct distances...current distances are from Garmin 310XT)

  • Comments: This was a great race for my 1st triathlon. Very laid back and there was a lot of people cheering everyone on. I spent so much time running and on the bike that I felt the swim was way too short but that was probably a good thing. :) I'll definitely be back next year.

  • Comments: This race was so much fun and a really good race for a first timer like me. I had the time of my life. I had this whole zen thing going on in my mind. I was in the zone alright. I worked my ass off but it also felt like a giant party. I know we were all competing but with the rain drops that hurt and the nasty head winds, I had this overwhelming feeling that we were all in it together and I couldn't help but smile. Even though the swim was a bitch I was sad the race was already ending. I'm so glad I did a triathlon and I can't wait to do another one.

  • Comments: this was a fun race...didn't care for the puddles and mud but like Clint Eastwood said ... Improvise, Overcome, Adapt"... The race was well-supported with great volunteers. Lots of porta-potties and aide stations. The course was well-marked and lots of people to point us in the right direction. Even in the rain they stood their ground. A group of BT'ers met before the race and that was fun. It's always cool to meet people you chat with.. I think had the weather not been so brutal, the race would have been a bit more enjoyable.. When the weather conditions are as bad as they were, tends to dampen the enjoyment. But, you have to go with the flow on race day as you have no control over what kind of a day it will be. Looks like everybody had a good time to have over 700 people finish the race... If you are looking for a fun race, this one is it!
