Doing the Tri thing in Los Angeles

Just thought I would introduce myself... Been a non-registered lurker for awhile to BT but thought I would get an account started to get into the posting action. Just started tris last year with a lot of great support from the Disney Tri Team and got hooked. I have never liked swimming much growing up and never had a bike with gears before last year, so there was a lot more learning rather than training. I came from a half marathon running background so my run times really even out the slow swim (20 min swim vs run a sub 8min mile pace in my test runs leading to malibu).Bike equipment wise I am still in beginner mode running training tires and rims but looking for some racing sets in the next few weeks. Added aero bars to my Caad 9 5 and have been getting comfortable in the aero position probably 50% of the time. Planning on doing Malibu sprint, playa del rey sprint, and the LA rock and roll HM in the coming months. Olympics and maybe a HIM next year.Best of luck to everyone in your upcoming events.
