Donner Lake Triathlon

[roadie gal]

I don't know if any of you gals are thinking about doing the Donner Lake Triathlon (in Truckee, Ca near Lake Tahoe). It's one month from yesterday. IF you are, I have a suggestion/warning. Please make sure that your brakes and tires are in excellent condition. The road coming down off of the summit is twisty and turny, with no guardrail. The road itself is in good shape so you can get up quite a bit of speed. It can be pretty hairy.

2 years ago I did the sprint. It was my first tri. This year I'm going for the olympic length. Whew! Wish me luck.

Sounds like it'd be a fun race- but no guardrail? I'd be cliff-meat for sure!
Good luck next month- you'll have to make sure to tell us all about it when you're finished. You KNOW we love to hear tales of the tri...
