The traditional Tamalpa Summer TCRS will again held on the rolling fairways and cart paths of San Geronimo Golf Course.
The official start of the TCRS is 6:30 PM (10th fairway, cross country start), we will complete two rolling loops around the ‘back nine’ running on paved cart paths. The distance of the race is 5 miles.
Before, the race, at 2:30, the first leg of the biathlon is nine holes around the ‘front nine’ of San Geronimo’s well manicured, bucolic championship golf course (slope rating of 68.3; To determine the low gross winner (and proud, if temporary custodian of the coveted ‘Golden Shoes’) we will add your golf score for the front nine to your time running the back nine. (the TCRS, San Geronimo biathlon committee uses a complex actuarial timing/scoring/handicapping/course slope rating system to determine actual low gross, time winner).
Immediately following the race, we will enjoy sip water, Gatorade, beer and wine on the expanse, open, greenswards of the most picturesque golf courses in the Bay Area (save Pebble Beach, Olympics’ Lake, Benbow Muni and Stone Tree). We will have plenty of food for all, kids, butter penne pasta, burgers, Salad, Fruit, Pasta and Poultry served in the recently renovated Club House. (this year, we are asking $10.00 to golf and $10.00 for dinner (kids free) to join us for dinner, to help offset the cost of hosting this great summer party). Please join us, bring your clubs and pack your racing flats (hope for some ocean breezes this year!).

Check into it at the YMCA; see if your kids need to be members or if they can join in on the training week and the race. Should be a blast for the kids.
7/15/07. SUNDAY. Medium Long Run. 11-14M. 6:30am
WHERE? Our China Camp Tempo site, just past Buck's Landing where our usual Tempo group meets; there's pull-off area next to road. This last mileage weekend (of Sat/Sun mileage) for Cynthia & Rebecca before taper week to SF Marathon.
COURSE: We'll have .5M warmup to CHina Camp entrance by kiosk; do Shoreline Trail (it's 5.5M long) to end (those who want total of 12 can head back=all trail); we then add all, or part of, the Peacock Gap/Golf Course area flat loop (3.2M); then back on the trail to where we started. I can modify the paved loop by cutting through the pass to where the ranger station is and pick up the trail there to make it 14M (I'll be meeting you at the split in the trail). We have options for most anyone so they can do their mileage.
Some will run 6-9M on Sat., then this run on Sunday. So Kevin & Dave (their last long run before Half Ironman on 7/22: swim on Sat, no run or bike!); Michelle, building on a 3 day set of runs; Jeanne for her Half Ironman coming up on 8/5; and any others who want to join in to get in miles. Tim and Ryan keep this run in mind also.
WATCH THE TOUR D' FRANCE this weekend! It's the mountains. Saturday's race was something over the last 20K!.. Sunday is big day in the mountains also.
