The San Diego triathlon was a lot of fun. We arrived in town on Saturday around noon and ate at the best tacos El Indio. They were everything the Guy Fieri clamed they were!
The triathlon was Sunday morning in the harbor starting at the Spanish Landing. Sue did a relay with Katrina and Linda. Sue did the swim with Linda biking and Katrina doing the run. Sue said the swim was a lot of fun and is excited for her next swim. The St. Paul Triathlon is going to come up fast, now she knows she will be ready for it.
Mike and I each did the whole sprint triathlon. I was really happy with my swim time and I liked the open water start. We are still waiting for the split results and should have them tomorrow, but I know I did what I expected for a time. It seemed that everybody did not bunch up as much as beach start. The water actually was pretty warm and swimming with the wetsuit did make it easier. My bike time I feel was a little hampered by the bike that I borrowed for the competion. It was a moutain bike that was a not a great fit, but I wasn't going to win anyway so does it really matter. The bike was fun though, it was to end of Cabrillo National Monument and had great views of the ocean and the harbor. The run went ok. I didn't push myself too hard just an easy pace as I was having fun running along the harbor. I probably should have pushed harder and shaved a couple minutes off the time.
The event was really well organized. They had a lot of volunteers and everything was so well marked. It defiantely created a little bit of a traffic headache for the locals who lived in the area. It was a lot of fun and now I need to concentrate on training for the St. Paul Triathlon.
