A FREE training event will be held at Crystal Cove State Park on April 25th, 2010. Members of Team Synergy will be training at Crystal Cove and we invite you to join us. We will meet in the parking lot on the mountain side of PCH to drop off bikes at 9:00 am and then we will park cars and drop kayaks off across the street at approximately 9:30 am (as shown on the map).
Maps will be distributed at 9:30 near the bike start and we will start our training event at 10:00 am. Assistance will be given to those who need help plotting checkpoints! The routes should be easy to locate and relatively easy to navigate… even for beginners.
The race will start with a 10-12 mile bike ride through Crystal Cove / El Moro Wilderness, followed by a 4-5 mile run through hills along the coast, and the event will end with a 5 mile kayak.
If a participant does not have a kayak it is recommended that you borrow one from a friend, someone off scarabs, or you could rent one from southwind kayaks of Newport Beach… although you will have to transport it. If you can not obtain a kayak, you can opt out of it and just do the ride and run.
Maps and directions to the site can be found at www.teamsynergyar.com. We will provide the hardcopy maps for you on Sunday. Please come enjoy our training with us, please remember to bring the gear list below.
