  • Comments: No BBQ again this year but they handed out finisher medals this year, yay! They had bananas, oranges, tasty bars, water (and some other liquid I didn't try). The race awards ceremony was delayed by about 45 minutes due to timing company mishap. >.< It was overcast the entire morning during the race which made for some really good PRs this year. :)

  • Comments: This was the first year they did this race, so it wasn't entirely smooth, expo was pretty small and probably not quite enough volunteers (but close!), but I think they put on a great race anyways. It wasn't too big, or too small, I really liked the course (besides the sand) and my race went very smoothly. Run course could have been better marked, I didn't have trouble with it but I saw a lot of others who did. All the courses were a little random, so it might help especially with the swim and run to make those a little less confusing. Overall very happy with my performance, I really wanted to go under 3 hours and even if the race had had a full 10k, I think I would have done that. Also I got 3rd place which was above my expectations, at first I thought I was 3 of 3, but it turned out to be 3 of 7, which was awesome. It's nice to feel like you really earned it. I was worried moving in to the next age group that it would be impossible, but I'm happy to be average. 1st place in my

  • Comments: Great race and well organized for a first year event. I will probably be back next year if it fits. Special thanks as always goes out to my coach Brian Stover (Accelerate 3) who has been hitting me with the perfect amount of training load. I feel like I'm really responding well to it. Also my sponsors, 101 Pipe & Casing, Kurt Orban Partners, K Swiss, Wins Wheels. My training teams, CVMM, Fortius Racing, LA Tri Club, and CV Tri Club. Plus Ashley...she's the best and deserves a lot of the credit. Love you! Next up Santa Barbara Long Course.

  • Comments: Didn't like the run on the beach. There was only water on course which is fine but I would be nice to know ahead of time. Great race for the spectators, however. Parking was a bit of a nightmare. They also kicked us out of transition an hour before the first wave. But all in all it was run well and fun.
