Subject: RE: Revamping the TN Forumeyeofthetiger2007 - 2012-01-02 7:50 PM Who is signed up for Rev3 Knoxville this Year? I registered for the "half-full" (i.e the half ironman) distance and am curious about the course. Anyone do this before? Where is the swim and what are the conditions like? Is it wet suit legal? what about the bike and run course? Hilly, flat, good road conditions? I've done Rev3 every year, and I intend to do it again this year (albeit the oly) The swim is in the TN river (you go in at Calhoun's dock on Neyland dr.) It's a straight course, up the river to a turn bouy, then back down (past where you go in) and exit at the UT Rowing house dock. It is generally cold but calm, 100% chance it's wetsuit legal. The bike course is on Knoxville back roads... that is to say, rough and patchy. I sat on the side of the road last year at the halfway point because of glass in the road. It's also a challenging bike... not much of East TN is flat. Only one climb is a real extended challenge though. The run starts off pretty flat but about halfway gets back into the foothills, so don't expect any PR's on it. It's a great, tough course. Good Luck! |
