The Swim will be held in Lake Almaden. All participants will be required to complete the 500 yard event. Water temperatures in June will be 68 to 70 degrees, and wet-suits will be allowed, but not mandatory. The swim will be well monitored by several lifeguards and kayak teams to insure safety.
The Bike will be 10 miles in length. The Mt. Bike will be 1/2 on road, and 1/2 off road. The beginning features a very steep, paved grade. Approx. 3/4 of a mile in distance, this hill will test the beginner and intermediate racer's VO2 - max. - capabilities. The Mt. Bike's first half will be a demanding, paved race. The second half of the course is when the fun and technical portions begin. Participants will find the likes of fire trails, single tracks, side mountain climbs and maybe even a little water.
The Run will be a very fast, scenic, paved out & back 5K (3.1 mile) course. It will be highly visual for spectators. All racers will end at the same finish line being used for the San Jose International Triathlon.
The Finish: Racers will finish on a grassy area. Finishers will enjoy music, a professional race day announcer, computerized finishing times, food, drinks, and an awesome awards ceremony. Participants can refuel with food and drinks.
