The 2012 Camp Yuba sprint and olympic triathlons are all about indian summers, camping, and good ol’ fashion swimming, biking, and running. Yuba State Park is just a half hour south of Utah County and has hosted triathlons for the last decade. The venue is perfect for triathlons and for 2012, we have arranged a deal with the state park to reserve all campsites for triathletes and their families. So for 24 hours this September, triathletes are taking over the reservoir!  We’ll see you at Camp Yuba!

SWIM Sprint 1/2 mile, Olympic 1 mile

The swim will be a loop course in beautiful Yuba Reservoir. Swimmers will swim counter clockwise keeping all markers to their left. The loop will be a half mile in length with sprint distance completing one loop and Olympic distance completing two. Water temperature is expected to be around 70 degrees and wetsuits are suggested but not mandatory.

*Transition 1- Swimmers exit up the boat ramp and enter the transition area. No riding bikes in transition area and your helmets must be on and buckled before mounting the bike.

BIKE Sprint 12.4 miles, Olympic 25 miles

The bike course is located on the roads surrounding Yuba State Park. The roads have very low traffic which makes the bike riding safe and enjoyable. The road surface alternates between smooth asphalt and rough chip seal asphalt. Be mindful of the changing surfaces. The course will be marked by cones and tri. signs.

There are several cattle guards on course be cautious as you encounter them. In previous years we have covered them but in most cases it only changed the nature of the problem. This year they will be uncovered but heavily marked. Proper technique is to slow down to cross them while making yourself light on the bike.

Sprint Distance- Out and back course covering 12.4 miles on US 90 and the frontage road along i-15. It is basically flat with several slight inclines and declines spaced throughout. The only turn is a left turn just after the I-15 overpass. This is a highly dangerous turn PLEASE slow down for it going out and coming back.

Olympic Distance- Loop course covering the 25 miles. It has a few minor climbs and descents. This course begins the same as he sprint but continues past the sprint turnaround to another turnaround further down the frontage road. Once at this turn slow you will continue back on the frontage road to a right turn underneath an overpass on to US 90. Make the turn and it will loop you back to the State Park.

*Both Sprint and Olympic be cautious as you re-enter the State Park. Slow down and yield to any obstacles you may encounter. Remember it is better to be a few seconds slower and safe!

*Transition 2- Slow down and dismount at the dismount line. Rack bike and transition to running attire. Exit transition following directional signs. Make sure your race number is on your front before you start running.

The bike course is located on the roads surrounding Yuba State Park. The roads have very low traffic which makes the bike riding safe and enjoyable. The course will be marked by paint on the ground, large signs, and cones. There will be several uncovered cattle guards so pay attention! They are pretty smooth going over so we have decided it is better than covering them up.

RUN Sprint 3.1 miles, Olympic 6.2 miles

The run will be on both asphalt roads and dirt trails adjacent to the lake. The sprint distance will turn at their halfway mark and the Olympic distance will continue ahead to their turnaround. The course is basically flat with a few rolling hills and aid stations with water and other goods will be at miles 1.5, 3, and 4.5. The run course will be marked with orange cones, spray chalk, and will have mile markers throughout.

 

AWARDS & SWAG - All finishers will receive an AWESOME custom die cast medal, pictured to the right. To kick off the awards ceremony the TRIEDGE raffle gives everyone a chance to walk away with some killer TRI swag (must be present to be eligible). The overall male & female racers will be crowned Camp YUBA King & Queen 2012 and receive a baskets full of goodies galore and Elite Trisport podium medals, pictured below. Furthermore, the top 3 in the age categories (TBA) will receive winner swag and Camp Yuba 1st 2nd & 3rd place medals, pictured below. Winner swag provided by Get Fit Athletic Wear.

  

AGE GROUPS for awards (please note that depending on the size of the Camp Yuba race the age group breakdown is for awards only. Athletes will most likely be competing against at least one other age group for podium awards. For official USAT standings athletes times will be broken down into their official age groups for national rankings)

  

There is always confusion about what age group you are in … here it is: Right now in the eyes of USAT you are the age you will be on December 31 of this year. So if you are like my mom and have a birthday on December 31st and are turning 45 on that day then you will be racing in the 45-49 age group (even though on the day of the race you are actually 44) 

 

Swim Caps

Swim caps will be provided at packet pickup the morning of the race. The issued cap must be worn during the swim.

Wetsuits

Wetsuits are recommended but not required. Water temperature will likely be 70F. Wetsuit strippers WILL NOT be provided.

REGISTRATION

There is NO same day registration. Online registration closes Wednesday September 5 at midnight.

Timing

Electronic chip timing of the event will be provided by TRUTIMING. All participants will be timed and will be provided with 5 splits (swim, T1, Bike, T2, Run). Results will be posted on Saturday within 8 hours of the final participant crossing the finish line. A link to the RESULTS will be posted on this webpage. Instructions for chip use will be provided at packet pick-up.

Relay Teams

Relay team members will wait inside the transition area at the bike rack location of the team where you will transfer your timing chip from one team member to another. Each team will be issued one timing chip, one swim cap, and one bib number.
