About the race
A swim from Alcatraz Island through San Francisco Bay, then a brutal bike and run. June.
Typical weather
June is peak summer. Heat and humidity are the variable that matters most; pacing and hydration for temperature can decide your day.
Who it favors
Triathlon favours the athlete who balances three fitnesses and cracks in none of them. Sharp transitions and disciplined pacing matter as much as being fast in any single leg.
