Talk to me about Michigan Titanium, especially the bike hills (Page 2)

I squeaked to the finish in just less than 7 hours. I felt good on the swim, struggled on the hills and rough roads but still finished the bike in one piece, and felt good enough on the run that I was able to actually run the whole thing, even though it was very hot and humid by then. In all, a great first 70.3! Thanks for all your kind words!

Congratulations! That was a TOUGH course! The run has got to be one of the more challenging 70.3 courses in our area.

I had to pick my son up from scouts so my dog and I were cheering people on around Bostwick Lake on Belding road while we waited. So much bike porn!

Those hills on the run combined with the heat were killer! Glad to have that race under my belt now. Hopefully everyone had the race they were hoping for!

I ate and drank a lot on the bike and took a throwaway bottle of Gatorade with me on the run, which I really think helped a lot. Plus I took advantage of every kid with a squirt gun and neighbor with a hose, ha! I was surprised to see so many people struggling. It was tough.

i'm intrigued about this race...looking at maybe the full aquabike next year - how many people raced the full do you know? (haven't seen any race reports on it)

Looks like 15 people finished -- I counted 13 people in the program. Results here.
