Subject: RE: Las Vegas Pumpkin Man long courseYou can search my race reports when it was the halfmax championships. Agree with above, if you've been training hills you should be OK. I drove some of it the day before and just looking at it it's not as hard as it looks. But I was intimidated. Hold back for the last climb. My only issue on the bike course, maybe it's changed, one of the primary aid stations coming back is located at the bottom of a hill, so you go through at like 20 mph + and it's impossible to get a bottle. Also be aware of the run. It looks "flat" but it's not. There are long long stretches of slight incline both way, like 1% or so but they are killers. Mostly I think starting after the Oly turn around. |
