Oct 11th I'm doing Long Beach Half Marathon. OC Tri is not an ocean swim. Am I crazy for insisting on ocean swim? I want to do one before Catalina. The rest are on days I work. Did check out LATriclub.com calendar. It is an excellent resource.

Realizing that, go for it. Its a great place to race (Dana did Big Kahuna) & you have a couple of great excuses to get your other daughter out of school.
