Triathlon update

Some have asked for some specifics...
The triathlon I participated in was of the "sprint" format. The swim was 500 yards, but it was an open ocean swim. It was brutal!!! The waves were crashing at 4-6 feet. It took me twice as long as the same distance in the pool. The bike portion was about 19 miles and the run was 3.2 miles. And yes, I am up for doing this again!

Awesome. my kind of triatholon. I like the shorter runs. have you heard of the Camp Pendalton Mud run? Joy and I want to come down and do that some year.

Yes! Let me know if you decide to do it - I would love to ru with you guys! If you are serious about doing it, keep in mind that of all the camp pendleton races, the mud runs are the most popular and fill up the quickest. It is not something you can typically decide to do a month before the race and expect to find any room left to register.
