The past summer months of Tri-for-fun’s in Pleasanton have been preparation for this past weekends Tri-for-real. Athletes of all ages came out  for the 700yard swim, 18mile bike, 4mile run.

We set-up the Bear Naked tent near the bike transition to get as close to the action as possible. The highlight of our day occurred when the gentleman above, completed both the swim and bike ride and stopped by our tent to scarf down a granola parfait before taking off on the 4mile run! Now that’s Living Bear Naked!!!

This past Saturday we cruised over to Lake Merced in San Francisco for the 1st annual “We’ve Got Your Back” Race/Walk benefiting The Spinal Research Foundation. Hundreds came out to race around the 4.5mile scenic lake. It was great to be apart of this race which raised funds that directly contributes to life changing research and educational programs.

We drove down the Cali coast to lover’s point park for the Pacific Grove Triathlon. Our fun-filled weekend included an Olympic Distance Tri, Sprint, 10K and 5K race. Thousands of athletes participated and received Bear Naked love after crossing the finish line. It was inspiring to see all the athletes out in the bay and hitting in concrete – truly a great accomplishment! Check out the pictures of this awesome race.

A .7mile loop was setup in Downtown San Francisco this past Labor Day with over 10 cycling races throughout the day. These elite athletes were flying around the corners on this short loop and it was awesome to watch. Hundreds of riders and supporters came out for the race and were lucky enough to grab some Bear Naked parfaits.

Say it ain’t so! We’re not ready to let go of summer. This past Sunday we headed down to San Jose for the Race To The End of Summer 5K/10K. All the participants woke up early to soak up all the summer sun they could get before it leaves. The race didn’t disappoint - it was in the mid-80’s and a great time to hit the concrete for a run. Everyone was happy to grab a granola parfait after they crossed the finish line.

This past weekend we attended The Inaugural San Francisco Triathlon at Alcatraz. Saturday’s expo was windy to say the least. Our granola samples weren’t the only things flying off our tables. Our crates, bags, coupons took off in the wind many times. Their were periods when the Bear Naked tent almost took off like that house in Wizard of Oz! The Bear Naked team stabilized and stood their ground to fuel up the athletes courageous enough to take on the Alcatraz Tri.

Luckily the tri-athletes plea to Aeolus was granted and Sunday mornings race was practically windless. All the awesome athletes survived the escape from Alcatraz and grabbed some Bear Naked goodness at the finish line. Congrats to all the finishers!
