• Comments: Got plenty of rest and did not work out too hard this week so i had plenty of energy for this years Race . Also took the swim at a confortable pace awoiding traffic and only started my RACE once i hit the beach on the way back from the swim. Maybe should do last brick 2 days before the race instead of the day before.

• Comments: This was a great race. Ventura is a really enjoyable city, the weather was perfect for a race, and the race was well organized. There were lots of volunteers and except for my little problem with the swim course everything was very professional. The best part, though, has the be the post-race BBQ with great food and a cool environment to hang out for an hour or two.

• Comments: Nice event...can't beat the free BBQ and beer (though they were running out of stuff by the time my wife finished and cleaned up her gear). Tons of volunteers (and probably the most appreciative bunch I've seen). Very, very, flat course on both the bike and the run. Good race for anyone making a first attempt at an Oly. I'd give this a "5" rating, except for the degree to which the results were screwed up.
