newbz - 2010-02-07 2:51 PM the bike course really has two hills to note, one at about mile 3, one a bit later. the rest are nothing to worry about. the run course is about as flat as you will get. i think the total elevation change from highest to lowest point on it is about 4 feet.

Last year I chickened out and walked the bike up the hills.  After that I discovered the joys of bike shoes and clips, but my memories of those hills are colored by first race terror.  I'm sure they didn't really have snow at the top and we probably weren't riding straight up a cliff...  So, I'm looking for a way to figure out grade so I can find some equivalent hills around here to train on.  My goal is to ride up the hills this year, without falling over sideways when I run out of gears.

David tri's - 2010-03-08 4:09 PM Well, I am out. this will be the first time in four years I have not done the MUSF tri. I recently got a job as a fitness instructor at the Y. I'm only teaching one class a week, but my boss likes me and I like the job so the are paying for me to get SPIN certified. Unfortunately, the first day of classes is the same day as this race. The next time they are sending people to this class is September 12. My wife is racing the Rev 3 that day, so that's out. 

After withdrawling from this race I have no races on the calander for the year. So, good luck everyone! I'm sorry I won't be there but I'll try again for next year. For you newbies, it's a fun one. For you vets, enjoy the day. For newbz, watch out for thorns on the bike course.
