Triathlon
Some of my previous Triathlon results:
In 2004 I competed for the first time at the LA Tri. I consider this race to be my home course, since I live two blocks from the finish line. Futhermore, the bike route is very similar to my commuting route and the running course is my usual (easy) evening route. It was stricktly for fun/to see if I could even finish. However, I did much better than anticipated.
2004 LA Triatholon: (0.4 mile swim + 20 mile bike + 3 mile run)
MALE 25-29: Sprint Distance
Place O'All Bib Name Age City Time
10 74 1765 CHARLES LE_PERE 26 LOS ANGELES 1:54:15
TOTAL: 38 in age group and ~390 O'All
No Podium in my age group but not bad for my first race.
I learned from my first tri how addicting the sport is. I immediately signed up for another race, this time the Catelina Island Tri. I didn't do as well b/c I crashed my bike during the race. The course was rather damp from the early morning due and some idiot slipped and crashed right in front of me so I put my bike down (on my left side) so as to avoid him. It wasn't so bad the day of the race... but the road rash that followed SUCKED! Even though I was down for a 10-15 mins repairing my bike, I still finished in the middle of the pack.
2004 Catalina Island Triathlon: (0.5 mile swim + 15 km bike + 3 mile run)
MALE 25-29: Sprint Distance
Place O'All Bib Name Age City Time
47 468 444 CHARLES LE_PERE 26 LOS ANGELES 1:45:31
My bike pace was something like 9 min./mile because of the crash! Oh well...
I gave it another shot in 2005 and did pretty well dispite suffering from a recent injury. I hurt my leg while doing a century with a friend from work the month prior to this. It actually didn't affect my swim or bike that much, it did however, fully crippled me while running. Despite this injury I thought I would race again (like I said it is addicting).
2005 LA Triathlon: (0.4 mile swim + 20 mile bike + 3 mile run)
MALE 25-29: Sprint Distance Podium (Top Five)
Place O'All Bib Name Age City Time
1 11 1858 JOSEPH MESSER 28 HERMOSA BEACH 1:40:26
2 13 1841 JOSHUA KLINE 29 SAN DIEGO 1:41:20
3 19 1822 MATTHEW DICKER 26 SANTA MONICA 1:43:21
4 27 1847 DIMITRY LERNER 28 LOS ANGELES 1:46:28
5 30 1845 CHARLES LE_PERE 27 SOUTH PASADENA 1:46:58
TOTAL: 38 in age group and ~405 Men O'All
I missed that dude by 30 secs.... Dammit! I received the 4th place medal b/c on race day I finished fourth, they must have missed someone in the race-day talley. Oh well, 5th ain't bad in my opinion.
The only race I've done this year was a Duathlon (Swim/Run) at Playa Vist. I was in shape for the run but I hadn't sawm more than a couple of times that year. I felt good about my run, but it actually turned out to not be too impressive.
2006 Playa del Run (1 km swim + 5 km run)
O'All Bib Name Age Time
33 51 Charles Le Pere 28 00:38'54"59
There were no age group divisions, if there were I would have been 6th.
I will race again, I've just been too busy lately to focus on it.
