Camp Pendleton Sprint Triathlon (Page 2)

Hey everyone, I just registered here, and this triathlon (Camp Pendleton Sprint) will be my first Tri!

 I've been training for a few months (I want to do the LA Tri). I have a few questions. 

 What should I wear during the race? I am thinking about just wearing a pair of swimming shorts (tight ones, you know). No top. Will I be ok with this? Also, do I need to lock my bike?

 Also, are you guys meeting up there? I would like to meet up with some people to learn the ropes.

I have some things yet to clear from my calendar but I am trying to work it out so I can get over and cheer at the race. One wildcard is gonna be my new bike; I might need to use Sunday morning to pick up the bike and get a fitting.

If all goes well, I will already have it and will just ride down to the race venue

ETA: I will be wearing a white Coyote Tri Club Running Shirt.

Tim, would definitely love to meet you once before I leave California.  New bike would be icing on the cake!

I'm in for this weekend.....dragging the in-laws with me, so should be entertaining. 

They want to sleep in longer than me since I don't go off until 8:30 or so.  Anyone know if they'll have any trouble getting to the race site if they arrive on base at 7:30?

Yeah, O'Side/Carlsbad is probably the closest for a bite to eat and has plenty of good eats to choose from. But it is out of the way for everyone who does not live in San Diego.

San Clemente is a bit farther but a better choice is folks are pressed for time. (Quite a few decent places to eat there also)

Oh my god, I had to go search for this, on the way back from the Oly we pulled of in San Clemente (15 minute drive) and ended up at the Sunrise Cafe on the main street, el camino real.  What better way to celebrate a tri than a huge breakfast burrito and hash browns???????

It's a greasy spoon, they got everything

And what happened to your logs, by the way????

I am wondering if you are responding to my question...because no matter how much you like food, you will never be a clyde!

Does anyone know what the policy is for Spectators getting on base?

I know that the base has been closed for a while to cyclists owing to the huge training buildup they are doing out at Las Pulgas.

I was hoping to ride out to the race site and spectate but I cannot find any info on the website regarding specators. Did any of you who registered get information regarding how they intend to handle spectators on race day?

OK, looks like I won't be able to make it down to spectate for the race.

I had a commitment on Saturday and could not get anyone to cover for me. It is something that I normally like to do but hate it when stuff like this gets in the way of races. (Either racing them or Spectating)

It is for a good cause though

Hope you guys enjoy the race and lunch afterward.
