Los Angeles Triathlon Series - #1

April 27th I did race #1 of the LA Tri Series at Bonelli Park in San Dimas, California. I have raced this venue several times. This is my second season of doing the series of three races. For those that race all three races there is an overall winner for each group at the end of the series. This makes each race more and more competitive.

So, for race #1 I came in third in the Clydesdale division. It was a good start to the series and I got a PR of 1:24 for this course. The course was a 500m lake swim, 15 mile two loop hilly bike, and a 5k run that had some rollers. The weather was hot at about 90 degrees and some headwind on part of the bike course. I had a good swim, good bike, and as usual got caught and passed on the run. However, my run is getting faster and that is what counts.
