I lived through the Imperial Beach Triathlon and I had a blast. Here are some photos. If your interrested in the details, check out the race report. Laughing

The day before the triathlon I decided to go to the beach see what it is like to swim in the ocean. Well it is fine except where the water breaks and rips your goggles off. I learned to put your cap on over your goggles.

waves smashing my head

Start of the run. I thought it would be a good idea to start in front. I am on the right.

The start

The start was pretty crazy. I only got wacked a few times and only had one person swim under me.

run to the waves

Swim is done, I already have my wetsuit half off.

swim finish

Start of the bike. I am stoked to be on the bike.

Bike Start

End of the bike. I think I passed half the guys that were in front of me after the swim.

End of Bike

No picts of the actual run, but here is the finish.

The finish

Finish was next to the beer store. LOL

All done!

Great Job Ryan,

  The way you flew past us on that bike it's no wonder that you passed all those others in the race.

You are an inspiration to me!
