For those doing the Olympic or Sprint Marin Triathlon on October 28th, or those wanting a fun workout, join ambassador Aaron for a sneak peak and course tips. He has done this race multiple times. We will meet in the parking lot at 8:45am.

Tides are perfect for us to do a swim preview, discuss and do a loop each of the bike and run route, as well as talk through transitions. (FYI the bay here is fairly warm and calm but can get muddy / impossible to get in during low tide and like a treadmill with ebb / flood going the wrong way. I strongly recommend neoprene booties because there are SHARP rocks that WILL cut you on contact.)

Please make sure to bring your wetsuit and trisuit or change of clothes, helmet, bike shoes, run shoes, nutrition, and hydration!

If you are only doing the sprint or want to skip some of the workout, no problem! The courses involve several 'loop' options and can be easily shortened. You can hang out and wait for us to finish, so bring a book or some games on your phone, or a fishing pole, haha.

There will be plenty of parking in the lot and your bikes will be pretty safe, especially if you can put them in your vehicle, but this area is pretty free from thievery. The lot charges $5 per day at the gate. No pets are allowed.

The bike and run routes are changed this year. I will go over the previous route and what I understand the new current route to be.

Optional possible beers / lunch somewhere afterwards! Or, I'm open to bringing a cooler and having a picnic. It is a lovely park. Questions? Text Aaron at 415-209-4113.
