Every year, for three days, triathlon competitors from all over the US flock to Lake San Antonio, California, for the Wildflower Triathlons.

For one thing, it offers three distinct courses: a Long Course Triathlon (1.2m swim, 56m Bike, 13.1m Run), an Olympic Distance Triathlon (1.5k swim, 40k bike, and 10k run), as well as a Mountain Bike Triathlon (.25m swim, 9.7m bike, 2m run).
