The other question is which tri. I figured it's so damn nice in southern Cali year-round, they'd have a tri every other weekend. No, they just have higher standards for nice weather. I did however, find the California 70.3, happening on April 4th. It's a bit closer to the cycling season than I would have liked, but hey, I'm not looking to win the thing. I figure we do a bit of swimming, the odd run, and the cycling takes care of itself with pre-season training. How hard can it be??

Very tempting. Compared to our local late winter tri - Mount Royal College Sprint, the loose gravel, ice, cold wind. The only thing in common is salt water.
I fear Lockie has turned to the dark side!
You guys are crazy, I will stick to hockey.
I think Rod will be all over this.
I won't be able to race it this year but I have done the Cali half in the past. It's a great race.
Oceanside is a nice area. I'd be happy to fill you in on course details, where to stay, etc.
Flying into San Diego is a bit of a pain as there is no direct flights from Calgary. It's almost better to fly direct to LA and rent a car.
I hope you mean a different Rod, however if Lockie is a triathlete in hiding that would explain all the crashing.
Rod M.
Oh SNAP! Lockie gets served ;-)
I was planning on prepping for Kyle's Beer Mile Series. It's pretty hardcore . . .
Another flying option is Westjet to Palm Springs. The drive is only about 40km longer, but avoids the nasty LA traffic.
Never fear, I doubt I'm going to be keen to do another tri after doing 1.5km of breaststroke at Oceanside...
Rod, I sink like a stone in the water. Good swimmers usually have a BMI more like you, don't they? ;)
What's going on in Palm Springs?
Point Lockie!
yeah man, I have to fire up JennyCraig this winter my bloat is outta control!
