If it’s the same course, then there is a sidewalk almost the whole way if I remember correctly. I would turn around though before getting too far into the neighborhood.
Course is mostly the same. But it has changed a bit including two trips out on the pier. It’s the same general area.
The course map shows an out and back onto the pier, however at a course brief she gave to TCSD, Race Director Gina Thomas said you are really turning right at the at the top of the ramp on the pier, and you do not run out onto the actual boardwalk part of the pier. The purpose of this section is simply to transition between Pacific St down to the Strand and back up.
RD Gina Thomas? What happen to Frey and Huddle?
Coach Vance has a handwritten T2/run turnaround sketch on his race recap:

Wow, I think I like the old course better.
What kind of wheels is everyone using? Thinking about a 1080/disc or just regular…i am in the 2nd to last time 30-34, can’t wait for the headwind, really excited about that one.
Ha, ha. I have one bike with one set of wheels on it, so no decision to be made. Easton EA 50s.
I’m going 808FC and a disc, I’m in the last wave…
808FC. Didn’t have time to buy a aero cover.
808 non-FC

Same here. Maybe they had to address some permitting issues, but this seems unnecessarily more complicated.
Chris, Found it.
Thanks
So, just to confuse things, the Cal 70.3 site has in it’s rules and regs the following Guess we’ll find out on race day. Doesn’t make much sense to not allow them on the ground:
Shoes must be in the bike gear bag or placed in the athlete’s transition spot. Shoes may be attached to the pedals. Shoes and shirt must be worn at all times.

I’m going down Thursday morning(and Fri) so I’ll give a heads up Thursday later in the day.
Bob, bring your board! New south swell filling in later this week!
Could you recommend a good massage therapist in Oceanside area? I was hoping to get a light massage on thursday before the race. Any ideas? Male or female. My wife might prefer a female.
Thanks

How do you wear your shoes at all times if they have to be in the gear bag or attached to your pedals?
The lawyer in me wants to take this to the literal extreme and ask whether shoes must be worn during the swim so that they are worn at all times.
PM Slowtwitcher MikePlumb. He lives in O’side/Carlsbad. I have a good friend (female) who is a masseuse here in San Clemente. I’ll ask her if she’d be willing to make a drive to O’side.
Hey Jay…how do the hills on the backside compare to that beast of a hill in St. George?
There is one pretty tough climb on the backside that somewhat rivals that St. George climb. There are 3 major climbs on the backside of the O’side course between mile 28 and 43 or so. Some rolling terrain in between each hill. Just be sure to save something for those climbs.
