We’ve already mentioned that Tamarack Beach (all the way north to Pine Street) will be closed Sunday July 8 due to the Carlsbad Triathlon, but now the North County Times presents a more level, fact-filled version of the story. It even features quotes from people involved.
Amateur competitors from as far away as Hawaii, New York and Mexico City are registered to participate in the event, which includes a 1-kilometer ocean swim, a 25k bike race and a 5k footrace along the Carlsbad coastline, said Carlsbad recreation supervisor Rachel Shay. “Carlsbad is a city geared to (a triathlon) with the ocean and the scenic seawall,” Shay said, “And with the sprint nature of this race, anyone can compete and succeed.”
Now that’s what we call reporting. Click the link for all the details.

On Sunday July 8, 2007 you can say goodbye to your peaceful mid-morning Tamarack surf as the City of Carlsbad shuts down the entire beach from the Cold Waters to Pine Street and turns it over to 1,000 lycra-clad, masochistic body-shavers and their significant others for the annual Carlsbad Triathlon. If, however, you enjoy watching people of all shapes and sizes jiggling around town in their underwear then this might possibly rank up there as the best day of your year.
The Elite Division dives into the surf at 8:00 AM with the rest to follow. For a schedule of the entire Carlsbad Triathlon and Health & Welness Weekend click the link below.

We totally forgot about it until we saw the signs up at the corner of Garfield and Tamarack saying that the road is going to be cloased, but the Carlsbad Triathlon will be swimming, riding, and running through The Neighborhood next weekend (July 7-8, 2007). Which means another parade of jiggling flesh and a morning of no surfing at Tamarack Surfing Beach.
We’re always threatening to enter and compete in the “cruiser class.” Swim in trunks, bike on a beach cruiser, and run in flip flops. The race is only a 1k swim, 25k bike, 5k run, however, as usual we didn’t register in time. We’ll rally for next year and remind everyone in advance so we can have a huge cruiser turnout.
