Comments: 10:00 AM Its a 25 yards i think because we had to do 9 laps , i kept my flip flops at the end so it was very confortable to run to T1 Transition in the parking lot . Water temp was nice but water was pretty cloudy and tasted hard . I could not see the end of the pool underwater. Did breastroke and confortably went through the set. Ran over to the bike . Transition 1
Comments: Ran in my flip flops from the pool to the transition so i was able to pass a few folks that were barefoot. I spent a little extra time to put on my new HR monitor and load up with an extra tube and co2 . What would you do differently?: Nada Bike
Comments: 10:10 AM Good transition and onto the bike quickly decided to ease in the hammmer until after the bike path part . Mile 2 or so . Latched on to a stroong rider in front of me and tried to keep up. Eventually passed him at mile 12 when he seem to run out of gas . He eventually passed me again on the run but i was maxxed out so it could not go any faster. What would you do differently?: Rode the course twice with helped immensely in knowing what to expect in term of gears hills , turns , etc and winds. Transition 2
Comments: Dismount line and ran over to my rack which was pretty close , Switched shoes and grabed number belt and water Run
Comments: 11:05 AM First brrrick of the season and it really sucked to do in the heat at midday , just kept pouring the water bottles over my head and on my arms , 1 per mile . Did not drink much at all. Pace for mile one was 8:52 and slowed after that mainly due to from heat . What would you do differently?: Run much earlier , was the toughest challenge to complete Post race
Warm down: Found some shade and drank water to cool down What limited your ability to perform faster: It was getting hot . I dont do well when running in the heat. Event comments: Nice race well organized , I am glad i signed up. Its a great way to start the season. I miss the Strawberry Fields Triathlon , which has unfortunately moved from march to middle of summer. Ironically its No longer in the Oxnard Starwberry season. Last updated: 2008-04-10 12:00 AM

Went for packet pick up Friday night. Race is set up with a small wave every 12 min with two swimmers per pool lane. Since i registered this week and the start times are by first registered first to go , i am just about last at 11:48. i just hope its not as windy as it usually gets here by midday .
With folks starting as early as 8 am its unlikely I will see many competitors other the ones in my heat .
Should be fun anyway and a race effort workout.
Well i decided to go earlier than my start time , and after parking went to the pool to see how things were going . There was a very short line so I was told to line up and i could go when i wanted. I was happy to be able to start earlier than planned , so i set up in the transition , visited the loo and headed to the pool .
