I am also doing it, no time for HIM or full this year

KARINM · April 9, 2016 7:51PM

Fantastic!! Have you done it before? Any tips? It's my first Oly distance.

I've done this race every year since 2010 except the one year I did the Half. Do lots of climbing and follow the EN rules for "flattening the course" and you'll be fine... Great race!

Kim, I was looking for that. Is that a post or part of a training plan? Can't find it.

Try the "Racing a Hilly Bike Course" podcast here. Not sure if that is IM specific or not but the theory still applies. You just want to ride as steady as possible. ie Don't hammer the uphills then coast on the downhills.

How is the run in this race? Also very hilly?

kimmydct · April 25, 2016 2:54PM

Yes. They changed up the course last year and I'm not sure which one they're doing this year but they were both hilly. And one of the longer hills is the last mile to make it extra fun.

Oh wow. Not the best choice for me to do as the first race of my returning season. Outsch hahahaha
