Who will be racing the San Jose Triathlon this Sunday?
i’m in for my first olympic
.
I am in!
should be there, but alas, crashing on my way down 84 after climbing Old La Honda on Saturday has me out
I wanted to break 2:00:00 (was 2:01:16 last year)… this course is the place to get fast times! (Just be wary of the hill a little past halfway)
Good luck to those doing it, as a tip I’d save your bike effort until after the hill, because most people are still suffering off that, and the run is all flat
any guesses as to which direction the wind will blow down Santa Teresa blvd?
this course is the place to get fast times!<<
Because the run is short!
Don’t think the run is short. There is an out and back, which makes it easy to get the distance right. I have worked and raced with JA for a while now, and I have gone over the run course on race morning to verify distance, and it was correct the time I did that. The swim is only 1.25k. So that gives you about a 3 minute advantage.
Awesome race. I will be there.
The run is not short… I GPSed the other day and it is spot on.
Fast course. Hill is not that bad. (You have great rest with the drafting packs right before it.)
Have paid but deciding to pass to rest for Oregon. Really enjoy the race course and was looking forward
to going for it.
Best of luck to everyone.

Good to hear. It used to be when it was a little different. And yeah, the swim isn’t 1.5K.
Ya I think a few years ago one of the turn around cones was in the wrong spot. Less of a run is good for me…
any guesses as to which direction the wind will blow down Santa Teresa blvd?
You don’t really have to guess – there is a south wind only about once or twice per year, and these are always in the winter; all other times, it’s a north wind (i.e., from San Jose to Morgan Hill), although in the last few weeks there is a cross component to it too.

You are correct, it is 1.25k. A difference of 3 minutes or more depending on if you’re a fish or a tank.
Are you doing it Cathy? Or here just to officiate race distance 
Thought about doing it, but my race plans for August have changed, so I’ll be doing a long ride/run/swim weekend instead, then hooking up with Katy and visiting STers here for the Alcatraz race.

OH YEAH the second, smaller, more brutal Alcatraz. Insane run.
Have fun (even though you aren’t racing)!
And something like 3 laps on the bike! Should be a fun weekend.
I hope everyone had fun - what a great race.
are the results posted yet?
