Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Muncie : Official Threadi live here in muncie , so first let me say as a resident... WELCOME...modoc camping you should have no problem gettting to race in the am just plan to leave early, first time at the venue i would recommend one of the pre race meeting at registration check in.... there was a last minute change to course, ie..small change in bike course from previous years when the race was the "muncie endurathon"...bring you wet suit but dont plan to use it, prarie creek resv. is a shallow resv. that warms up quickly and stays warm...although i have seen 5 - 10 degree temp drops within 5 days bring wet suit as a back up...bike course flat fast and no real climbs, 95% of the course is closed highway....run, well this is where most make there mistake by over looking key factors for this course, (1 ) it is 95% all open and little shade so run will be done in 80 to 90 + degrees (last year temp @ 1pm 93 )high humidity, (2 ) one Roller after another entire course (out and back course )...do not underestimate this run course, i grew up on that course and (HS CC and Track ) trainned there and i know just how punishing that course can be...it may not look it on a map but it can punish you....well good luck and once again Welcome to Muncie where we been doin tri's for over 30 years.... |
