In case you're like me and don't read instructions, packet pickup is NOT at the race site like a lot of you thought last year. Packet pickup is here. In addition, there is a link at the left covering all the details.

When: Fist Wave 6:40 AM

Date: 04.13.2008

General Info:
The race will be held at Fiesta Island and an interactive Google map can be viewed here. If the link does not work for you, visit http://maps.google.com and type in "1750 Fiesta Island Road San Diego, CA".

You CANNOT enter the island with a car after 5:45AM. You CANNOT leave the island with a car until after the last rider has finished bicycling. If you arrive after 5:45 AM you must plan on parking and bicycling to the transition area with all your gear ~ 2 miles. Please let your friends and family know that they will have to walk ~2 miles to the transition area if they like to sleep.

Driving Directions:
On the 5 heading south exit west on Clairemont Drive. This exit is weird; go around the curly and stay in the left hand lane so that you can make a left on Clairement Drive. At the stop sign, make a left and head south on East Mission Bay Drive. Continue until you pass the Hilton Hotel on the right.

If you are arriving before 6:00 AM, continue over the small bridge and turn right on Fiesta Island Road. Follow the parking volunteers and please be nice to them.

If you are arriving after 5:45 AM, you will no longer be able to enter the island because athletes will be warming up on the course. Tired drivers and tired riders don't mix on a one lane road. You must park along East Mission Bay Drive or enter one of the parking lots below if there are no spaces.
