Subject: RE: Looks like I am doing Malibu...I did the Oly Race on Sat too. Yes, the fee was high for an Oly, plus mine was $10 more since I deferred last year. sidenote on MESP - they don't guarantee your entry to the following year if you defer, which is how I wound up in the Oly and not the 'classic' (no complaints on the new race ). nor do they let you transfer.
I got to the site at 6am and I had my choice of shirt sizes at reg.
I wound up being slower than most on the course (i had a slow swim due to water in the goggles ) and a slow T1 (due to not realizing i left my sunglasses in the car ), otherwise I think i would have had a more respectable time for me. but overall, I didn't think the course was that bad. I liked the fact that there were just 1000 people in the field. It was nice and small in many ways and would def do it again. I didn't mind the diff terrain for the run either, i actually kind of like that.
let's see if i can get any pix up...swim/bike/run! Edited by shrano 2008-09-20 5:14 PM
