IRONMAN 70.3 California started out as an IRONMAN in 2000. Two years later it was turned into one of the first IRONMAN 70.3 events and helped launch the popularity of the distance.
Oceanside, California offers triathletes a chance to race in the city that birthed the sport in the early 1970's in Mission Bay. Oceanside is located at the northern end of San Diego's North County, which includes the beach communities of Del Mar, Cardiff, Encinitas, and Carlsbad—home to a mixture of surf, triathlon, and beach culture. Just half an hour south lies the city of San Diego, with its world-famous zoo, parks, and other attractions to fill a spring break vacation. Just two hours away from the local mountains, skiing and snowboarding are other options.

April Tri Club Meeting - Training Plan Fundamentals - Back to Basics
Where do I start? How can I track progress?
Club Sponsor, Matt Trost, 2012 Triathlete of the Year, will break down what a season training plan looks like.
Swim, Bike, Run, Eat, Drink, Be Merry. Train with the best, practice and test, the tradition does not rest !
This is our annual training weekend up at Lake San Antonio.
It’s a weekend of camping, training, socializing and having fun. It will either give you a chance to formalize your self with the course or remind yourself how hard the course really is!
Most people will drive up Friday afternoon and stay through midday on Sunday.
Traditionally the training is as follows:
-On Friday afternoon we swim (if you can make it up in time).
-On Saturday morning we bike the respective course that we will compete in (possibly followed by a short brick)
-On Sunday morning we run the respective course that we will compete in
-The rest of the time we Eat, Drink, Socialize, and have Fun!!
As always people of all skill levels and abilities are welcome. You can join in on whatever workouts you see fit and you do not need to be competing this year to join us!
We’ll probably do a potluck Saturday night but otherwise you’re pretty much on your own as far as food goes. If people want to get together and organize meals that’s great!
There is no need to book a group site or make reservations. We will all just grab sites in the same area. It’s very quiet at that time of year and hardly anybody is up there. We will probably camp in Lynch or Redondo Vista but look for a message on the board at the front gate when you arrive.

Please join us on June 1st, 2014 for Orange County Triathlon/Duathlon.
The race starts with a swim in beautiful Lake Mission Viejo for the triathletes and a quick 2k run on Aliso Creek Bike Path for the duathletes.
The bike courses make their way up El Toro Road and into Santiago Canyon where the turn around is in sight of Irvine Lake. Athletes will fly back to T2 located at intersection of El Toro Road and Marguerite.
The run course starts off downhill but don't be fooled. What goes down has to go up. Athletes will make their way back to Lake Mission Viejo via a mixture of road, trails and walking paths. Hills for sure.
Finish downhill into the parking lot at Lake Mission Viejo and sprint it out along the beach to the finish line!
