Hello from West Los Angeles. I have recently been referred to this site by a friend who knows I am about to start training for my first ironman-distance triathlon.

Lucy (the girlfriend) just completed the Danskin Women's Triathlon at Disneyland California Adventure in California. The water was really gross, but the race was fairly well organized, and she had a great time. It was a beautiful day for a race. Not too cold, but overcast. Water temp was reported ~78º. Declared wetsuit legal, but hardly anybody was wearing one.
