Turkey Triathlon (Read 343 times)

    We have a cool Turkey Triathlon here in Los Angeles area that I signed up for.   

     

    It's not too long.   1/2 mile swim, 14 mile bike , 4.5 mile run so should be nice workout. 

     

    83 and Sunny down here today and beautiful.

     

    My cycle club has a nice 40 mile group ride Thanksgiving Morning + our normal Saturday group ride of about 32 miles with a fair amount of hill climbing Saturday.   

     

    Going to make for a nice training week. 

     

    Anyone else have Turkey Triathlon's in their area?

     

    Happy Thanksgiving!

        I've always wanted to do that race, but I'm in upstate ny this week.  No triathlons here-unless running, hottub and beer count.


        Good luck!

          Our Tri season here in NoVA is over, we did have a Du the Sat before Thanksgiving and it was windy and chilly, but fun. 

           

          Our Thanksgiving tri was pretty much run-eat-nap

            Yep Southern Cal has it's advantages.     I'm originally from Oregon and have swam in the cold Pacific Northwest Ocean.     However....it's been a while.

             

            Let me say that our beach start into the lake this morning in San Dimas California offered water temps of 58 degrees.    I know I know some of you are laughing.   It literally took my breath away and took me some time to be able to even breath

             

            SWIM 800 METERS = 16:16    16th  out of 55    58 degrees and calm swim, but had a very long run to transition area before our time was logged.

             

            Transition 1 = 3:49  17th out of 55

             

            BIKE  14.5 Miles = 44:03   12th of 55   kind of hilly and breezy too.

             

            T-2 = 1:56   28th of 55

             

            RUN  4.5 Miles = 36:47    16th of 55   also a bit hilly.

             

            TOTAL = 1:42:53   and a 12th place finish out of 55 in age group 40-44.    

             

            Odd that I finished 12th............yet had no elements better than 12th.       Obviously I don't have a specialty.   haha
