Race rating (2)

Comments: Course was dangerous, registration too expensive, ran out of race t-shirts 1.5 hrs before race start, overly hyped for an oly thats nothing special...... Last 72 hours I was working on about 12 hrs sleep, 14 hour work/school say the day before, I was sick and I had to get up at 4AM to make it to Malibu super early to get parking and be ready for a 7AM wave start. Also training right through the race and came in with flat legs.... There's all my excuses

Comments: I have never done the Malibu "classic" as it is now known. this was the first Oly they've done since the sprint/classic sold out so fast. i'm really glad i did it. I haven't done an Oly since 2005, which was a shitty race for me a mere 2 weeks after my HIM. This race I did better. My swim was sucky for reasons not pertaining to my ability to swim but due to my stupid decision of putting sunblock on my face...sigh... my bike split was better for sure which i am happy about. my biking more has certainly paid off. my run, surprisingly was just as fast as it was in 2005, however it really wasn't great timewise because this was a totally flat course whereas the nyc tri is hilly central park. so...timewise, i was on par. but really, i need to spend more time running. i am glad i did the race. felt good overall. a little tired afterwards but nothing out of the ordinary.
