Wildflower Triathlon
The Wildflower Triathlon is a triathlon (swim-bike-run race) held at Lake San Antonio in Central California since 1983, the first winner being legendary Dean "The Machine" Harper. It is held the first weekend in May each year.
The original course was expanded to the standardized half-Ironman distance (1.2 mi / 56 mi / 13.1 mi) in the late 1980s, and is often referred to as simply the ''long course''. Two more races have subsequently been added to the event: an Olympic-distance (1.5 km / 40 km / 10 km) race and a short or "sprint" mountain-bike triathlon (0.25 mi / 9.7 mi / 2 mi).
Known for a particularly hilly and grueling course, it is one of the largest triathlon events in the world, with 7,500 athletes and 30,000 spectators attending each year at its peak. Traditionally it is associated with a Wildflower festival, though in recent years the festival had been eclipsed by the increasingly large athletic event. A drastic drop in lake level in 2014 led to a modified course〔("Tri-California Readying for 32nd Wildflower Triathlon, Amid Drought Conditions in California" )〕 and lower attendance.〔http://www.tricalifornia.com/index.cfm/WildFlower2016-results.htm "Per year race results"〕 Shortly after the 2015 event, the Monterey County Board of Supervisors announced it would close Lake San Antonio due to low water levels,〔http://www.ksbw.com/news/monterey-county-closing-lake-san-antonio-because-of-drought/33426734 "Monterey County closing Lake San Antonio because of drought"〕 leaving the future of the Wildflower triathlon in question.
