Subject: RE: Patriot Half Triathlon : Official ThreadJust saw this map of the bike course someone had put up on MapMyRide. http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/2946845 Is this for real? it shows no hills whatsoever, but the course description said rolling hills? Since it's two loops, according to the mapmyride course, it's still less than 200ft of total elevation gain, over 56 miles. That's close to flat as a pancake... Another question. I just did a little tri down in florida, where i encountered the term "florida hills", where you could be going for miles with a strong headwind. Feels very much like a real hill, except I have experienced very few hills that go on for miles! Have there been similar headwinds in this course in the past, for those who have done it? Or is it really a flat, fast course? Edited by nycsi 2013-03-16 12:08 AM
