← Silicon Valley Sprint Triathlon
This was the first triathlon I ever did :) I loved LOVED the course, the bike is hilly - or at least seemed so back then; now: not so much. Very scenic route around Uvas Reservoir, however - they do not stop traffic for this race and things can get tricky out there on the bike course. I know some bikers had to actually stop while a truck was taking a left turn (??!) and lost up to two minutes. In a sprint race, that counts. But if you're doing the sprint distance for fun, absolutely go for it! My detailed race reviews (TWO of them, yes) are here: Pre-Race: http://aleksruns.com/2013/04/23/the-first-tri-silicon-valley-sprint-triathlon-part-1-pre-race/ Race (and rookie mistakes to avoid): http://aleksruns.com/2013/04/24/10-rookie-lessons-silicon-valley-sprint-triathlon-part-2/
