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??
Post a comment if you're interested.
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.
ReplyDeleteI fear Lockie has turned to the dark side!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are crazy, I will stick to hockey.
I think Rod will be all over this.
ReplyDeleteI won't be able to race it this year but I have done the Cali half in the past. It's a great race.
ReplyDeleteOceanside 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.

Oh SNAP! Lockie gets served ;-)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteNever fear, I doubt I'm going to be keen to do another tri after doing 1.5km of breaststroke at Oceanside...
ReplyDeleteRod, 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?
ReplyDeletePoint Lockie!
ReplyDeleteyeah man, I have to fire up JennyCraig this winter my bloat is outta control!
