I did it last year and really enjoyed it.  Crystal Cove is phenomenally beautiful.  Swim isn't the most protected out there and is a good walk from the transition area, and the bike is pretty crowded, but the run was fantastic.  One of the better races I've done....am sorry to be missing it this year!

Sounds like a fun race to me...is the ride as hilly as the site states?

It was my 3rd triathlon ever and I was in a lot worse shape than I am now....while I do recall it being hilly, I don't think I ever wanted to "die" and my run was the fastest ever.  It's right on the PCH, and you do the loop twice.  So you go up the big hill twice, but it's over quickly because you're coming off a big downhill.  It's really not as bad as everyone thinks.  Challenging, yes, but I certainly have done more difficult bike courses.  (But none as beautiful!)
