Trek Women Triathlon Series - Orlando : Official Thread

I made the bike race course a BT route here (already had most of it mapped for another route). Turn on the Elevation graph by clicking the "Elev Graph", mile markers can be enable on the left side "Distance Markers:".

I did a race there several years ago I can tell you when you get on the bike you will go up a real short but steep climb.  It is important you have the bike in the right gear for it coming out of transition.  Maybe even practice it before you go into transition to get the gearing right.

The loop around the lake is uneventful (enjoy the views).  After mile 7 (Grand Highway) looks like you will have a nice little climb (3% grade), a slight downhill to "recover", and then an other short climb with a 3-6% grade.  Nothing "major" (note I haven't ridden that section), just use your gears.  After Mile 9 it's mostly downhill so enjoy!

Have a great race, it's a beautiful race venue!

Steph,

If the link to the route in this ^ post is the route you are doing the "hills" should be a non-factor.  I ride in Clermont a few times per month and the streets around the lake have a few ups, but nothing to stress about (but do heed the making sure your bike is in the right gear for the "hill" right out of transition); especially if you've been riding the Rickenbacher Causeway.

Good luck!
