Subject: RE: South Carroll Tri-to-Win Sprint Tri : Official ThreadFirst time in 5 years I'm NOT signed up for this race, which is in my backyard at my home swim club.
Great race, great course!
The bike ride is hilly, esp. the first half, on Gillis Falls Road (aka the roller coaster ). Be careful of some sharp turns on downhills, I've seen riders blow right by the turn. It really pays to be familiar w/ this course, with all of its twists and turns.
The run is an out and back, moderately hilly w/ 2 long gradual climbs, net uphill on the way out and net downhill on the way back. Finishes on an uphill run. If you're in a later wave prepare for a hot run, no shade at all. Bring a hat and shades.
