I had the pleasure of racing the Olympic distance triathlon at Cal Tri Los Angeles in its new Playa Del Rey location. October 2021 was my first time racing since organized endurance events in Southern California had been largely shut down by the pandemic. The race staff and volunteers were fantastic, and included experienced triathletes who really knew the course and had a deep understanding and appreciation of the sport.
The course itself was fantastic: conveniently located, great weather even in the fall, mostly flat and fast, scenic (ocean views, palm trees, airplanes overhead). and safe. The swim in the ocean felt great with water temperature in the low 60’s and enough waves to keep things interesting. The bike course includes a nice stretch of Westchester Parkway, a favorite spot for cyclists, and unlike at some other events, the bike course was closed to cars, so really safe and well marked. The run takes place on the beach path, mostly flat with stunning ocean views. Yes there were others on the path too, but it’s big enough, well marked, and staffed by volunteers so it was never an issue.
I highly recommend taking advantage of the free clinic offered the day before the race, which includes a practice swim (get used to the ocean) and a preview of the bike course. This is a feature I love about all Cal Tri Events.

This is a great course to set a PR and punch your ticket to Boston because there are long downhill sections, but there are some challenging sections too, and you do have to manage effort or suffer the consequences over the final 6-8 miles. Along the way you’ll enjoy some breathtaking views. There was plenty of crowd support, frequent aid stations (about every 1.5 miles), a great looking medal. I would definitely do this race again.
