Subject: RE: LeadmanTri Life Time Epic 250 Distance : Official ThreadI was in Bend for the Pacific Crest weekend and did one loop of the bike. I'd ridden much of the course before but wow, it is intimidating to think that we'll be doing it twice.
The climbs aren't too steep and depending on your riding style don't really require getting out of your seat but they are long slogs. I rode in with the temp in the low 90's and it was hot. I also was surprised at how the altitude affected me at toward the summit.
The pavement on the Cascade loop highway is good but the portion on Road 40 is rough and feels slow.
Should be a great race and now I need to forget how hard it was and work on getting stronger for September.
How is everyone else doing for training? |
