  • Comments: I had a great first experience and would recommend this course to any first timer. Although my time has plenty of room for improvement, I felt I managed the course well and my expectations were right on.

  • Comments: Very nice race. Huge field for a sprint, 1460 athletes. Very satisfied for my last race of the year. Beat last year's overall time by almost 7 minutes. PRs in the swim and run was great as well. Now it's 5-6 weeks of taking it easy and cross-training before California 70.3 training begins.

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: My biggest complaint is the early start time. I get up at 5 for work, so it's not like I'm generally opposed to it, but the race was completely over by 10. I don't think they closed any roads for it, so why couldn't it be later? Also, the ratio of port-o-potties to athletes was way too low. I guess I've been spoiled at the last 3 races I've done, which have been at Camp Pendleton - plenty of port-o-potties, no waiting! One more thing - the boat ramp - OW. I have a cut on the bottom of my foot, and I think it was infected by the disgusting toxic Mission Bay water. Other than the rough start to the morning, I had a good time and was satisfied with my performance.
