Lake Natoma is an awesome place to swim, super clean water----they dont allow jetskis or anything like that on the lake. The water is freezing. It comes out of the bottom of Folsom Lake---i swim in lake natoma beginning in like March--but thats with a neoprene cap and a swim cap over that, and ofcourse wetsuit. I swam twice in the dead of summer without a wetsuit in lake natoma last yr----the first time i did it was refreshing, the second time was painful and dangerous (it took me like 2 hrs of running to stop shaking). JA put on awesome races, i did FIT last yr, have done SJIT in the past and like their approach, plus im signed up for UVAS and SJIT this yr. Their one of my fav race producers. The run's easy---well as easy as a marathon can be. Theres a half marathon around lake Natoma (4 bridges 1/2) and i train a lot around there. Its a scenic run and the undulating hills arent really hills----theres 2-3 hills that will make you hurt a little. And i think the bike will be fast cause its all downhill once you turn around. Those are my thoughts.
