Lake Berryessa provides a gorgeous venue for this triathlon. This is a great event for beginners and a perfect race for seasoned athletes to get ready for the rest of the season. The sprint event entails a half-mile swim, 11-mile bike and 3-mile run. You'll begin your race following a half-mile triangular swim course in Lake Berryessa at Oak Shores. With water temperatures in Lake Berryessa hovering in the low-70s, wetsuits are allowed, but not mandatory. Next, jump on your bike for an out-and-back 11-mile spin along the rolling hills surrounding Lake Berryessa. Finally, you'll find your running legs as you head out for the out-and-back 3-mile course over rolling terrain. The event is limited to 700 participants and sells out months in advance so don't wait too long to register!
