Leslee Gaul President and CEO Visit Oceanside 3 LifeTimeTri.com WELCOME LETTER Welcome Athletes to the 2013 Life Time Tri Oceanside Championship/ Toyota Triple Crown! I am thrilled to have this inaugural event in the place that I call home. The City of Oceanside, volunteers, military and staff are ready to show you their hospitality for this championship race. Athletes will get to swim in the quaint Oceanside Harbor, exit out of the harbor to ride on the fast & flat SR 76, yes we are shutting down a part of the highway just for you! Then dropping down into Transition 2 (T2) near the Oceanside Pier to run along the beautiful beaches on Oceanside Strand finishing with a spectacular view of the pier! I would like to thank the City of Oceanside, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, and Coast Guard Auxiliary for supporting this race and granting us permission to use their resources. I hope you enjoy your stay here in our little beach town and are well rested up for an exciting day where “A Champion Will Be Crowned”! Gina Thomas RD, Osider, wife, mom and fellow triathlete!
