Umpqua Ultimate Triathlon Sept 5, 2009

I raced the sprint last year and had a great time.  The swim is in tiny Cooper Creek Reservoir, which was quite warm, but deep and dark.  The Oly was a two lap, 4 buoy course with a mass, tread water start.  The bike was downhill out of the swim and mostly flat after that.  I think the oly bike had some elevation gain as it went further out to the east than the sprint, not more than a 200' though.  The run was in town, so it was also pretty flat.  The running club that sponsors the event is great and the town folks really turn out to help.  All in all, a good event.
