Subject: RE: Tupelo King of the Hill TriI did it last year and loved the course. The swim was definitely long. I swam the "half mile" in 15:39, which would be a horrible day at a 1000yd time trial for me. I think I was 11th over all out of the water even with that time. There's also a short but insanely steep run out from the water. The bike was a really fun route. Starts uphill, then there's a section of short rollers. A little after mile 4 you are pretty much downhill until mile 11. Then more rollers and a climb back into the park. Here's the route from last year: LINK I assum it's the same. The run seemed a little short, or maybe I just had a good day. It pretty much was just up a hill, down a hill, up a hill down a hill, and so on. They had a ton of pizza at the finish, which is a favorite post race food of mine, so that was nice. Really well run race, lot of fun, and always a potential scorcher with the temps. |
