I admit I was a little ill at the start seeing that many people, but once we started it was a blast. Having crowd support nearly the entire course was awesome. I wouldn't rule out a big race. That was my first too. what year did you do it? I was there in 2005. It was in 2000. I feel so old... I did it again in 2003, because I was living in So Cal at the time. Wasn't it a great race? Fun race. I shouldn't have started (and slogged to a ridiculously slow finish) but it was a nice trip to San Diego. |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED Not too big a volume for me this weekend, only about 9 miles tomorrow am. I did sign up for the Chicago Rock and Roll 1/2 mary next weekend . . . finally a different course that does not run along the lakefront like ALL OTHER Chicago races. Sounds like I am whining, but gets boring when they are all the same . . . I like different scenery. On a positive note, the zensah socks have worked beautifully this week running (calfs feels wonderful and not at all stressed), but trade off is they seem to make me hotter . . . . arrrrgggghhhh. Why does there always have to be a trade off with a potential solution? |

It was just very memorable for me. You run by the lighthouse downtown area, Balboa Park, Sea World, and then finish through the Naval Base. It was just a lot of fun.

Expert 1121 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED I ended up getting new tires yesterday. Slightly starting to flatten a bit on the tops. Picked up Michelin Krylion Carbons. Reviews seemed to be really good. They run about $60 each though but was able to get 20% off at LBS. Somehow I convinced them in March to sponsor me. That don't really mean much but I get free tuneups, free jersey and 15-20% off everything. Works for me. There was a really good rider in the ship that day and they were talking about sponsorships. I immediately went into the salesman I am and asked how I get in on that. |

Expert 1121 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED I had a great experience today. Couple mishaps. My zipper broke on my brand new blue seventy wetsuit as I was trying to unzip coming out of the water. Took 4 minutes to get it off in T1. Damn it!!! I was able to fix it when I got home. Heavy rain, and very choppy water with prob 3 foot swells the entire time. I will post my report later tonight or in the morning. i did finally meet Kelly and Shaun today. Thanks for all the support you two, and finally great to meet you in person. |

Pro 4723 CyFair | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED Alright so interesting experience today. My wave/AG had 134 people in it. I went off in the middle of the middle which I figured out later was a mistake. I should have gone off the edge or right at the line. Basically I ran head on in to 3 folks backstroking w/i a span of 200m. Stopped me dead in my tracks. Lesson learned. Race was 500m/13.5 miles/3.65 miles. I went 11:12 (boo)/35:09 (yay 24+mph)/27:48 (7:31/mile). My tranisitions weren't bad, but the times suck because the area I had to cover was huge. Probably ran an extra quarter of a mile in transition today at least. Overall semi please with 1:18:09. 178 out of 1400+ overall and 27 out of 134 in my AG. The really good news is the swim felt way too easy and I could have pushed more. Edited by uhcoog 2011-08-07 5:34 PM |
