Many years ago it was unheard of for a competition to have running, cycling as well as swimming one after the other in the same event. The Kinetic Half Triathlon is one such event and takes place annually. This event covers a distance of over ninety kilometres and the contestants climb as much as five hundred and seventy feet up.
It all started out as a dream of one athlete. Entering a Biathlon he started to wonder if making the distances of the running and swimming longer would be more of a challenge. A course was designed where there would be a track one would have to run barefoot and another where shoes would be needed. He then contacted a chairman of the San Diego Track Club Calendar and asked if this event could be put onto the calendar.
The water will be about fifteen degrees Celsius so many will need wetsuits for that leg. The cycling part will take place along the lake as well as into rural areas with spectacular views of hills. All of it will be done on paving. It is said that the bike course is very difficult but will have three water hand- offs at the twenty, thirty five and forty five mile marks.
The event consisted of just over nine kilometres of running broken up as well as eight kilometres of cycling and then to end off a five hundred yard of swimming also broken up into parts. Three kilometres of the running would be done on sand and grass. Those that participated had to have their own bicycles and only the first five would receive a prize.
The next is Achilles Tendinitis and can happen if one increases the distance each day without giving the body time to adjust. The pain will be at the back of one's heel and will become more painful when running. Stiffness is also a sign and together with swelling and hearing a popping sound means that the Achilles tendon has been ruptured. A doctor will need to be seen straight away.
There is an option of walking the twenty four kilometres of hiking trails or biking and even horseback riding. This area sits on an old gold mining site and the history is available to anyone who is interested. There are gold panning programs available and seem to be a very popular activity to pass the time. There are also guided tours of the Goodwin Gold Mine.
This property was known as the Gold Hill before becoming a state park in nineteen seventy two. Work then began and in nineteen eight three the park opened its gates to the public. Visiting this park one can be transported back in time and participate in looking for gold nuggets and flakes.
This county is governed by a Board of Supervisors and they set out the policies and approve land rezoning as well as handle all funds. They have many schools and colleges as well as universities ensuring a good educational system for all. Their emergency services have volunteers to help and the fire and rescue services run from just before five in the morning to six in the evening.
