The Long Beach Triathlon will take place this Sunday, September 23, 2007. The race consists of a 1/2 Mile Swim, 11 mile cycle, and 3 mile run. This will be my second time competing in the race. While it is not my favorite race (which is the LA Tri - but I somehow have managed to be out of town during the same weekend of the race for the last two years), I did enjoy the competition last year. The swim in behind the breakwall of Long Beach Harbor, which takes the surf out of the equation, but the water is a bit dirtier than an open ocean swim. The bike ride is a two loop circuit course that is relatively flat with the exception of one bridge competitors need to climb. The run is a fast, flat, one loop 3 mile run along the water with great views of the harbor and the Queen Mary.
Given the demands of work and family, I do not feel that I have prepared to the level that I imagined I would have, but this happens more often than not.
