The only time it's the ocean is at the turnaround where the harbor meets the ocean. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions! You got this! (please note that I think there is only one transition area now, not two like the year I raced).Sugar Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071565706988591786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5066612659034209366.post-39198882853371361542016-07-25T12:29:27.045-07:002016-07-25T12:29:27.045-07:00Just wanted to tell you thanks for this detailed p...Just wanted to tell you thanks for this detailed post. I am signed up for Oceanside 2017 and am frankly terrified of the ocean swim. Your honest post was refreshing to read--most of the others I found online were by elite men and I think I can identify with your experience better. I picked up lots of great tips.

I've gone up a few big hills in my training and always wonder if people walk them but never see anyone doing it. Loved that you cranked along up the hill! I wonder if its from having good running muscles? When I bike with a group I struggle with keeping up on flat ground but can start to catch up to people on hills. I thought maybe it was quad strength.<br /><br />I have my 70.3 in july and this recap made me both more excited and more scared! :o) Monikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582542387458172294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5066612659034209366.post-33914085971389025572014-04-03T11:50:25.510-07:002014-04-03T11:50:25.510-07:00WHOOOHOOO!!!

You worked so hard to get to the starting line!! <br />That's hilarious that you had your earplugs in during the bike, hahahaha! :) <br />I get that "never again" thought during a lot of races. Somehow I always end up registering for the next thing though! <br />steenahttp://www.findingmyhappypace.comnoreply@blogger.com
