Los Alamitos’ Race on the Base

I signed my brother and myself up for a sprint triathalon, Los Alamitos’s Race on the Base.  One year ago, Dusty Miller, a good friend of mine enrolled me in this race and me, him and Donald Lindsley all did the race together.  It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it, which is a big reason why I decided to start training for an Ironman. 

Over 6,000 people participated in the event last year.  To be honest, I thought the name, Race on the Base, meant that it was at the base of a mountain.  But just recently I realized the actual intention of the name . . . it’s called Race on the Base because it takes place at a military base.  It’s a 5K run, a 12 mile bike ride, and a 200M swim. 

The race is set to take place on February 26, 2011 at 10:30 AM.  So, in 21 days, my brother and I will be competing in our first event together.  I’m extremely excited and can’t wait until The Running Brothers get put to the test.
