Elite 3290  Oliver, BC, "Wine Capital of Canada" | Subject: RE: Oliver Half Iron I believe they're going to allow ~1000/1200 entries so it looks like it has a ways to go as it's only at a little over 300 at the moment. You thinking of entering? |

Extreme Veteran 361 Kelowna, BC | Subject: RE: Oliver Half Iron I really really want to but I am still struggling with the run. I thought I'd wait and see if I can get my k's up before I entered. But they have the rollover this year so if it gets too close, I may enter anyway. If I can't do it by 2011, I deserve to lose my money. LOL.. How ARE you anyway?

Run las fast as you can for as long as you can! Good luck! |

I'm a little nervous but also super excited. Thanks Seed yourself properly in the swim. If you're strong, head to the front, if not, stick to the back or outside. On the bike there's only one small climb but you end up doing it twice I think. Not a big deal. Long descent after that which is nice. Be prepared for any kind of weather (wind, rain, heat, etc.) no matter what they're predicting, it can change race morning. Don't go too hard on the bike, 5 mins too hard will loose you 10 mins on the run. The run is a nice looped course with a lot of people around for support. This is where you hold nothing back. Know your nutrition needs before you go and stick to your plan, this applies to bike and run. |
