Hi CDA'ers,

I found out about this after the fact, but if anyone else is interested in the discussion here is the transcript:  (I was suprised on the nutrition answer - bars and gels wasn' what I was expecting...I need to try the bar.)

Thanks,

Alan

  • IRONMAN Hey everyone I'm excited for this chat. Just wanted to let you know about the new bike course this year, see the updated course maps for details and there is a new course elevation pdf map you can check out too. http://ironmancda.com/course/57 minutes ago · Like

  • Kimberly Schwartz Thank you for answering our questions today. I finished CdA a few years ago and was looking forward to challenging myself on the same course so I could compare my times. I'm disappointed with the drastic change in the bike course, and had I known this when I registered I may have selected a different Ironman race. Can you please explain why the decision to change the course was made and why athletes weren't told about it until only recently?56 minutes ago · Like ·  2

  • IRONMAN ?Kimberly Schwartz we had some permitting problems along the course and some construction issues going on as well that forced the change. We looked at some options and felt that this was the safest thing we could do for the athletes. These issues weren't known to us until after the event was open for registration.53 minutes ago · Like

  • Gaby Larrea I, like Kimberly, wanted to compare times from this year to last. I did hear rumors last year while at the race about this course change so I was sort of ready for it... I'm not incredibly unhappy since I have lots of room for improvement... but can you talk a little bit about the new course... elevation gain, etc?50 minutes ago · Like ·  1

  • Angela Rector Gaudino I am not great at reading elevation charts, but the bike course seems to be more rollers than sustained climbing. Does that sound right? Thank you!!49 minutes ago · Like

    Thanks for posting. I totally missed this. I'm glad you pointed out the nutrition answer. I'll definitely want to test out those products in the coming weeks.
