Trying to compare this course to other available 1H2011 options... cda, st geo, vineman, etc. Not yet. We know the swim is in Lake Woodlands which is not overly large so it'll be interesting to see how they navigate us around that. The bike supposedly goes North and I've heard that it should be relatively flat with a few rollers. No official word on if there will be any loops but speculation is that it will be a one loop course. The run is supposedly entirely within The Woodlands. I'm told that means mostly residential streets and "urban paths" with lots of trees which should mean a lot of shade and not much wind. The locals I've talked to predict that the course will be fairly fast (terrain-wise) but also pretty hot/humid. At this point it's mostly supposition though. RD Keith Jordan hasn't released the official maps, as you know, presumably because they're still working out some of the details. |

Yes - I found that thread after posting here. I'll be following the official race thread for now. Thanks for the course info, flying hawaiian! (shane victorino reference for you baseball fans...) |

RD Keith Jordan hasn't released the official maps, as you know, presumably because they're still working out some of the details. If the latest rumor of the bike course is close to accurate, which based on the source I believe it is, then this is roughly what the course will look like (an out and back wasn't fully included, hence the shortened dist). I guess 'hilly' is relative, but based on the other profiles, this looks to fall somewhere in the IMCDA and IMWisconsin realm of hills.
