Race Reports for Tinsel Triathlon 2009

Race rating (4)

Comments: It was my first race in 13 years, and I had a blast! Everyone was so much fun, and it was a great first timer type of triathlon. I've been out of fitness for a bit, so it was meant to provide myself a baseline and gain some experience, which it definitely did! With my travel schedule, who knows if I'll be in Southern California again for this race next year, but I'd definitely like to try! I'm happy with my overall performance, I was aiming for about 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes given my training times and I am happy to have hit my target! I wasn't out to break records, but rather finish happy and on pace. Can't wait to do my next Tri!!

Comments: This race is a good community event. There are logistical issues that haven't been worked out and there appeared to be far fewer volunteers this year compared to last year. I love this race because it's fun and relaxed. Once you finish your swim you are allowed back into transition causing a log jam of people coming in off the bike to head to the pool. All finishers should be given the same opportunity to get to the pool to swim and not get blocked in. If you're looking for a lower key first tri or know someone who is this is a great race. The fees are fairly reasonable and there are tons of first timers with hybrids, mountain bikes and beach cruisers and no need to buy or rent a wetsuit.
