Short sprint race in Seal Beach this morning. Finished 2/54 in my age group and 10/365 overall. 1/2 mile ocean swim, 7 mile bike, and 2.1 mile run in deep sand. Swim went decent, averaged 22mph on the bike on a super narrow bike path with lots of no passing zones, and the beach run kicked my ass, but only got passed by one person...a professional chick. \:D 56:35 was my final tOh, and the best part, 2 time Ironman World Champ Chris McCormack was racing!

serious question, how healthy is it to run in loose sand? Ive tried it on stupid whims on vacation (oh Ill wake up at 6AM and go for a beach run watching the sun rise derp)

like 200meters in my arches, achilles and shins feel like they are going to explode. As I think about it... thats barefoot, which might be the issue? Or just a total lack of training?

Lack of conditioning for that surface. I know people that run every single day on the beach with no issues. I started doing it 2 weeks ago to get used to it and after the first day I was pretty sore, but it got better quick. I'm not feeling any more soreness than I do after any other race.
