Always a great race. Flat and fair. Get a flat, and you probably can still get caught up. Swimming up river current is a nice little unspoken challenge depending upon the year. Sac River may only be a stream in 2022? Solid training, best case scenario for pro-triathlon athletes tying to work up their confidence. If you can do this in less than 2.5hrs and go have brunch afterwards, then you’re kinda on point!
This was my first triathlon race ever in California after more than thirty races in the Midwest including a few in the Mideast and Southeast. I flew into San Francisco and rented a car and a bike. I am not racing this year, 20/20,: because of the pandemic. I really loved the Golden State Triathlon for three reasons: 1) a flat course that is easily navigated, 2) the novelty of a river swim starting on a sand bar, and 3) the food and hospitality. Highly recommended for a beginner or triathlon veteran!
