Subject: RE: Phily Tri - Philadelphia Insurance Triathlon - Olympic : Official ThreadPersonally, the bike course is the main reason I don't do this race anymore.... The course itself is fine (a couple of short hills, and a couple of sharp turns coming off of downhills, but other than that mostly flat ) My problem with the bike course is just that with the number of people participating in this race, a two loop course is just too crowded. There are a lot of new triathletes participating who might not be familiar with the rules of the road (stay to the right unless passing, etc. ), and sometimes it's just too crowded to avoid blocking or drafting. So, just be careful during the bike.... it can get a little crazy out there.... |
