Subject: RE: Any triathlons near LA between Feb - May? Has anyone done this event in May? http://www.active.com/san-dimas-ca/triathlon/races/los-angeles-cham... How's course / crowds?
Yes , Great event , longest running series , smooth lake swim and nice bike 3 loops and run in a park setting ,
The MAy 9th race is olympic distance CHAMPIONSHIP:SWIM 1.5K- BIKE 39K - RUN 10K (BIKE 3 LAPS AROUND THE PARK )
The bike and run have some grades in them but they are short and none are steep . Expect to change gears on the bike
Some of the pavement is choppy , it will feel like cobble stones.
Crowds are not a factor , there were plenty of rack spots available in transition, But Like at any triathlon : arrive early for closest parking , secure a good spot in transition and to skip lines at bib pick up & the toilets.
