Mermaid Series Triathlon-Alameda
Quote | Reply
Hi ladies,

My wife is planning to do her first triathlon this year, and one of the races that she's looking at is the Mermaid Series sprint triathlon in Alameda, CA. Have any of you done/heard about the race? Any important pointers? Is this a race that you'd recommend for a first-timer? From what I've read on the Website, it seems to be a well-organized, women-specific, and novice-friendly event.

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

I've not done it but I've heard they do a nice job. And it's a flat flat course!

Thanks Cathy. That's what I've heard as well.

I've also heard that the swim can be a little rough due to the cold, choppy water, and wind. Any of your friends echoed that observation?

Haven't heard specifics on the swim, but cold is a given.
