2011 Morgan Hill Sprint Triathlon - 20th Annual
We kick-off the summer with a classic old school sprint triathlon. UVAS Reservoir in Morgan Hill is one of the most pristine and beautiful venues in the world of triathlon.
This event sells out early every year as local and destinaton triathletes vie for one of the 700 available entries.
The water temperature in May is 65-70 degrees.
Wetsuits are encouraged for safety but are not mandatory.
Course Information:
The Swim:
UVAS Reservoir is open to the public for swimming only one day a year, exclusively for the Morgan Hill Sprint Triathlon @ Uvas Reservoir.
The reservoir offers some of the cleanest water around, and features 65 to 70 degree water temperature in May. Wetsuits are encouraged for safety, but are not mandatory.
The swim course is well marked and participants swim around a natural wooded and tree lined peninsula.
Swimmers follow the shoreline and finish at the boat ramp on the opposite side of the start.
Bike Course: Bikers, you need to keep your heads up and obey all city traffic codes and Highway Patrol Officers.
All racers need to be aware that the race course is not closed to vehicle traffic and we urge you all to be safe and stay to the right side of the road at all times.
Course is marked with cones, chalk, police officers and volunteers.
This course has rolling hills and is very scenic. Bikers pass by reservoirs, wineries and rural ranch-style properties.
There is a steep hill climb of approximately 12 mile in length near mile 11. At the corner of Sycamore Avenue and Watsonville Road a mandatory slow down will be strictly enforced.
Participants run along the road out and back 2.5 miles, for a total of 5.0 miles.
Course is lined heavily with cones and flour.
History has brought hot weather, bring a hat and sunscreen. There will be water stations every mile dispensing water and electrolyte sports drink.
Bike Course:
Drafting: Drafting is illegal at the Morgan Hill Sprint Triathlon @ Uvas. The race sells out to capacity every year, and we ask your help in doing the best we can to help enforce the "NO DRAFTING" rules of USA Triathlon. You, the athlete, are the simplest and best way to keep the bike course safe and draft free. We will have monitors from USA Triathlon Officials out on the bike course, but you personally need to help the sport and yourself by simply backing out of packs, slowing down or verbally mentioning to other athletes not to draft.
