  • Comments: Results: http://www.ucsdtriathlon.org/tritonman/2010/results2010.txt Hats off to the UCSD tri club. For a volunteer race, this was excellent (and I know, because I've spent a lot of time organizing volunteers). The college vibe and games after the race contribute to the positive vibe. Where else can you see athletes going all out for a burrito or a water bottle? The announcer was excellent, and the crew made the best of the conditions. Areas of improvement? I would have liked a souvenir, and would have preferred to not swim into the sun, or at least been told about it beforehand.

  • Comments: I don't think they could have done much more about the mud. Its San Diego, its not supposed to rain anyway :). They did have the matts out and made a solid effort. Great race for a first race. Would be tempted to fly out and do it again. Plus, nice college chicks to look at (kidding).

  • Comments: Odd race. I loved the course itself, but it wasn't as professionally run as the first two Triathlons I did. The Transition area was a muddy bowl. Nobody can help the weather, but being prepared w/ mats for transition would have been great. The transition from Bike to Run was chaotic. When I was running out, there were bikes coming in and other runners coming into finish. It was a free for all w/ no defined area of where anybody should be. I had to dodge both bikers and runners. I am surprised there weren't any major crashes. Overall I enjoyed the race, loved the course itself, and had a great time; but if I can run 1 triathlon a month, next year I think I will try another venue.
