I just got to Pasadena and will be here at least through the summer. I would really appreciate any training suggestions. I am doing IMCanada in 7 wks and I have no ideas on where to ride, run, or swim in the area. Also any knowledge of good group rides or swims or group trackwork/interval sessions would be great. Any good trail runs in the area? I'd even be interested in some good roadie rides. I'm also looking for a good local pool. I'm available to train at just about any time of the day and I'm willing to drive up to an hour to get some good long rides in if necessary.

Also, is this one of those areas that is supposed to be very smoggy? Do you train through it or is better to train indoors on a particularly smoggy day?

Any insight at all on training in the area would be great. I'm going to check out the LA tri club website but are there any other sites I should check? (running, roadie, tri, or swim) The move was very spur of the moment so I didn't have time to research before coming.

Thanks in advance.
