Covid was not helpful for us MAMILs (middle aged men in lycra) with all events postponed or cancelled for 2020 and the first half of 2021. So when the opportunity arose to join a couple of boys who were racing in the X-Terra Laguna Off-road Triathlon I signed up.
It was a fun sessions starting with an open water swim off Crystal Cove, then lots of hilly mountain biking in Morro Canyon then finished with a very hilly 10k. My battery that powers my electronic shifters on the new Yeti 115sb failing half way through the ride was a reality check. Lucky I was in a low gear and was able to finish the race.
Will definitely sign up again next year!
