Orange County Triathlon

Anyone here doing the OC Tri or OC Du on May 19th? More importantly, anyone here done the Tri in previous years? I’m looking for any thoughts or observations about the bike course, and especially the run course. Thanks in advance…

I did the tri last year and doing it this year. You ride out to Irvine lake on Santiago Canyon Road and finish on the bike trail near the church on El Toro Road. It’s hilly with one good climb. The run starts flat, the middle is has some off road trails with one short nasty grade and the last portion is rolling hills. This is a tough oly course.

There is a swim and run preview this weekend on Saturday. I’m doing the swim preview and riding the bike course.

I’ve done it 3 times- am doing it again this year. King Of Pain’s description is spot on. Weather will play a big role, but it’s a great challenging course with a bit of everything. Enjoy!
