My visit to Treasure Island

This is my 5th year ( wow has it been that long?) coaching for SJR and their beginning triathlete program, I always get a kick out of it.

Endurance sports opened so many doorways and changed so many things for me it's really hard to quantify, plus I'm just not that good of a writer, but I never get tired of sharing that excitement when someone who was terrified to put her foot in the bay a few months ago swims 880m and puts her face in.

Those victories you take with you for life- good stuff.

We followed this swim up with a 6.6 mile circuit of Treasure Island on the bikes , then a 2 mile run along the shore.

Wow what a scenic piece of land in spots and a ugly run down place in others. Strange place.
