San Diego International Triathlon


Check this race out - this will probably be a club race in 2010 - next year we are going to be even bigger!! If you haven't done it you have to do it.

San Diego was perfect, beautiful weather, great venue, the company of other athletes – friends and family. This year the club decided to get together at a destination race – not to far away so that it was affordable and did not require days off to get there. San Diego was a perfect choice.
The course is my favorite – sorry Lake Mead – a safe ocean swim, an awesome bike course which takes you to the top of Point Loma and a pancake flat run along the city’s ocean front. I think everyone I talked to in the club really enjoyed the course.


Saturday, the day before the race you go to the expo - rack your bike – and then enjoy the best course talk in Triathlon by the charismatic president of the SD Tri club – I learn something new every time and laugh my posterior off.


Then a club dinner with families at La Pizzeria Arrivederci – this year about 30 people including athletes and their families showed up to celebrate our sport and our lives.



Race day was everything we hoped for with a micro brew beer corral at the end. Monica won her age group and Victor placed third in his after completing IM CDA the previous week – We had about 15 athletes and about 30 friends and family there as well - Congratulations Everyone!!!
