TriRock San Diego - Olympic Course : Official Thread

Thanks for the info...I will be in San Diego a few days prior to the race and plan on riding the route.  I am fairly new to tri'ing so I have no plans for any land speed records but hoping to complete my first OLY.  Have you done the Classic? 

Are the majority of competitors wearing wet suits for the swim?

Any suggestions where to rent a swimming wetsuit in San Diego? 

Xterra rents wetsuits but Nytro does not, Nytro does rent bikes both road and tri models. The water temp last year was really cold due to a crappy summer. This year the water is at least 6-8 degrees warmer and around 70-72 degrees today. I wore a wetsuit last year but Im going to try to avoid it this year as the swim is really short.

The bike is a little scary as the roads are not well maintained in the beginning/end. The base part is nice, flat, and fast so people really fly out there. I talked to the race director and he was trying to get the roads worked on for the race but wasn't having much luck. He said he was taking extra precautions about the railroad crossings and other problem areas.

The run is easy and fast the bands could be better but it was okay. There were well stocked aid stations for people who needed them.

This info is all based on the sprint distance however because there was no olympic last year. The course is the same just a longer swim and run, and there is a map on the trirock website.

I am not too fast on the bike so I will just need to stay out of the way...actually, I am not too fast at any of the events but I do manage not to finish last!  Good luck and again, thank you!

Blueberry?  Haven't heard of that one?  I heard gout can be pretty debilitating! Hope your flare up does not last all week and you feel better by this weekend.

Yeah I decided to skip the sprint I had planned to do today to give myself an entire week to heal.  Did a 2300 yd swim today and only some cramping.  Have the foot iced and elavated, then will do a short ride this evening to give it a test.  Still swollen and some serious brusing along the top outside of my foot and the inside under my ankle, but not much pain.

Please share about the blueberry thing? Willing to try anything to help my foot heal..

Course Change:  Hey all just though I would let everyone know that the course has been changed because of the security threats...we will not be riding onto the base.  The event website has new information.
