  • Comments: You won't find many races that compare in terms of spectacular settings and unique challenges. Far and away, the best of my racing expereinces. Would do this one again in a (Zone 4) heartbeat. I wanted to find a line between relaxation and exhilaration, and that's exactly where I raced.

  • Comments: This was a great race. It was my first time flying with my bike and it was definitely worth the hassle. Despite the cold, windy, and overcast weather, my wife and I had a great time in San Francisco, walking along the coastal bluffs and taking a 2 hour sunset cruise. A great trip! I finished top 39% in my AG and top 28% overall. I would have love to have finished top third of my AG, but I must remember that this is very popular race and many of the top AG'ers come to it. Plus, I had a flat. In the end, I had fun and that's what's really important!

  • Comments: I'd highly recommend any event by Tri Events and Alcatraz was not a let down. Organized but mostly just a fantasticcourse on some beautiful coastline- how can you go wrong? Plus the fact you get to swim from Alcatraz!!!

  • Comments: I do have to say this is one of the truly excellent race courses in the world. No matter where you go, people know about Alcatraz. The course is fun and well designed. TriCalifornia did an excellent job of running this race. The only downside is that portions of the bike ride were pretty bumpy with significant pot holes. However, the TriCaifornia team did mark all of the potholes with orange spray paint.

  • Comments: I'm still so in awe I was able to do this race. It was an incredible experience and I loved every minute of it, even the more difficult ones. It is well organized and supported, first timer friendly despite it's difficulty, beautiful, and well worth the time, energy, and money. I'd love to do it again.

  • Comments: I have to say I will do everything possible to do this race again and again. It was fun, challenging and overall just amazing. The run is SO great - it kinda makes me want to try some Xterra races! Tri-Cal events are always well run, tons of support, tons of goodies, plenty of drink and gel stations and they have a gem with this course. I LOVED it. It was everything I hoped it would be - and my expectations were high!
