Subject: RE: Smithfield Sprint Triathlon : Official Threadmdfahy - 2010-03-22 10:10 AM I biked and ran the course this weekend. The hairpin turn on the bike course comes at about mile 4 and it is at the bottom of a hill, so you can't see it coming and since I was going downhill I was in a large gear...mistake! I know others have warned about this, but I still didn't anticipate that the turn was right at the bottom of the hill and I had it in a big gear, so it took me forever to get the right gear, turn and get up the hill. Good lesson for this weekend. There is also the biggest hill at the very end to note. So as not to scare people - while the biggest hill is right near the end, it is NOT a big hill. For local riders it isn't even as bad as the easy side of pungo ferry. That said, relative to the course, it is the biggest. |
