WORST Pre-Race Routine of ALL-TIME!

Given my absence, this seems like a random video to come back with. I promise to explain more in my next video. This is a recap of my experience at the 2019 Orange County Triathlon that was an absolute disaster (logistically). My performance was a good indicator that my fitness is solid though. My next race is a bike race at the end of June in Hawaii that I will talk more about soon. My knee has pretty much fully healed but I have been dealing with other injuries. Stay tuned.

Great to have you back!

[@respek2933]

UR BACK!

[@JamesGoodrich7]

You do not have good luck with shits and racing! Haha this story made me think about when you had to shit in the middle of the trail in a trail race, MULTIPLE times. 😂 Glad to see a new video!

[@dokutaaguriin]

What a story!

[@JAHinHK]

Perhaps this is why a seasoned race vet like yourself should volunteer in the future. Help these organizers sort out these issues in the future. Also why you should book the race early. Well done though.

Valid points sir, valid points.

[@cicirunner]

I've volunteered one time before. I had a vest on and was directing traffic to make sure the runners could get through the intersection. It was stressful haha.

Who won the duathlon in the Olympics? Oh wait.

[@cicirunner]

What does that mean? Because my picture is from a triathlon?

[@kale7183]

@@cicirunner You ripped swimming. Duathlon's are for those unwilling to get out of their comfort zone.

[@cicirunner]

@@kale7183 I've done triathlons before but I don't enjoy swimming.....especially training in a pool ugh! I know triathlons are more legit than duathlons, but I thought about it and it just seems like a waste of time spending hours every week doing something that I don't enjoy.

[@schoonerchow]

nice job even with all the start issues!

[@dr.merlot1532]

good job killing it on the duathlon. Are you gonna do the Goleta beach duathlon? I wont be there but I did get second place back in the day (when the bike course ran through Cathedral oaks 2011-2012 I think) At the very least the Tri start and duo start will not be 2 fucking miles apart. Consider doing it I'm sure you will kill it. The next biggest race in Santa Barbara will be the much anticipate pier to peak. Although I live in a different state now, I am considering running it again. If anything do the pier to peak! you got a title to defend!

[@cicirunner]

I watched my friend do that race last year. To be honest, I don't like the course. Cycling on the bike path is a joke. It's so narrow and windy and the road is not super smooth. Might be fine for someone that is a slow biker but unsafe for someone that likes to push 27 mph haha.

[@cheater7210]

what do you do for work?

[@cicirunner]

I work in a pharmacy and sometimes have the opportunity to cover other pharmacists at other stores that are sick or on vacation.
