Established in 1981, the Santa Barbara Triathlon is one of the longest running triathlons in the world. And it's no wonder: Stunning scenery, flawless operations and an ocean-front transition area and finish line ensure a sell-out event every year. Stick around after the event for children's beach activities, a fabulous sports expo and convenient on-site dining.
Christopher Wright of Los Angeles Sports and Fitness Magazine calls the Santa Barbara Triathlon "idiosyncratic, unique, flawlessly organized, and beautifully situated;" journalist and six-time Ironman 70.3 champion Emma-Kate Lidbury gushes, "Races like [the Santa Barbara Triathlon] are special for a reason and, like all good things, you almost feel torn about spreading the word for fear you might spoil it by telling the masses."
Starting out the day in the beautiful waters of Crystal Cove this race is not to be missed.
The run up from the Pacific Ocean to T1 is sure to get your heart rate going if the swim didn't. From there, mount your bike and make your way out of Crystal Cove and onto PCH for a bike ride that is breath-taking not only in its beauty, but the course will leave you panting as well.
Off the bike and you are tackling a run course that is sure to be fun and challenging. Be prepared to run partly on the beach and then finish overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Be sure to hang out after and take in the experience.

Everything we do in training, and then racing, is based on a set of beliefs that we learned, trusted, and accepted. This could be from trial and error, the wise words of a coach, a know-it all fellow athlete, or the "always" true online blog.
Are they, in fact, "truths" or "myths"? Find out what our coaches or "Mythbusters" have to say about everything from nutrition, recovery, and beer at this Thursday'smeeting.
