I read somewhere the bike course was changed this year. Anyone have insight? Sounds like it's been hilly in the past.
My husband and I living in Monterey CA back in 2002-2005 and loved visiting San Fran. We are now between TX and Africa but soon to be only in TX. Started training for TX back in Oct. 2014 mainly on a treadmill and trainer, so I am excited to be able to ride my bike and run outside. Also, there are several EN Team members in the area that I can connect with to work out. Good luck!
I'm in!
About the hotels:
I just booked in the Holiday Inn resort, it's very close to the transitition and finish line, also has one of the best prices and as it is a host hotel there will be mechanical station.
Anyone else signed in?
Next week is my first RR week, 2 back to back 112 mile rides. No problem. Any idea what the nutrition will be on the course? Anyone done this course before who can offer some tips or suggestions?
Keep up the good work and I will check back with you guys soon.
Hello Dana!
That's great a new ride, you just need to get a lotta miles with it, there's one one month left!!
About the nutrition, the standard in mexico is regular Gatorade, there's no GE; also the gels are I think it's Fuel or something like that, In Cozumel and Monterrey they gave that kind of gels, for that I used my own GU gels, I tried the others and there was a lot of sugar
In the running part there's also Gatorade and the water come in bags, that's very useful since there's not like a cup and you can drink it very well.
There has been changes in the bike course, it's not as hilly as other years, there's only one big 3 mile hill at mile 51.
Have a great time with your RR!
Thanks for getting back to me about the nutrition. I got serious bloating from Gatorade endurance which had a bad impact on my run so I am happy to hear it is good old Gatorade. Used that and gu for my RR and felt great.
Also, my husband found a Los Cabos bike course online somehow and synced it up with our trainer. We don't know if it is the actual race course or not but at least it is good practice; lots of hills.
I would love to get together with you guys to do recon of the bike course. We arrive Thursday afternoon. We are shipping our bikes so the details of when to do the recon is variable. Still, Anybody interested?
So glad RR week is over. Mentally I am getting very excited, physically my body wants a break. Oh and I am still dragging my feet when it comes to working on dropping some lbs. for race weight.
Good luck and stay healthy.
So.. October starts today!!
how's your training? I'm really tired now, it has been really hard the last couple of weeks, but getting the race mojo!!
Take care!!
My husband Chris and I will be staying at Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos down the street from the host hotel. I look forward to seeing you there. Good luck to everyone. May your race week be smooth, relaxed and uneventful so that all your energy can go into the race.
