Subject: RE: Kirkland Triathlon Not this year. I did it last year and it was fun.
They were a little unorganized at the start....I showed up when the transition was supposed to open at 5:30 and they were still setting up. There was no security on site and I was really nervous about leaving my bike to go for coffee.
The swim was a self seeded wave start...so based on how fast you swim you put yourself in one of five or so waves. It was a little cumbersome since nobody knew how to do it, but it got organized quickly and actually worked quite well.
The bike course was a gas. Bring your climbing legs as there is a long steady climb and you get to do twice. The downhill section is screaming fast.
The run was mostly flat with a small hill at the turn-around.
Have fun. |
