 Payson, AZ |  Subject: Pacific Crest Long Course TriAnyone do the Pacific Crest long course tri in Bend, OR? I am thinking of making this my A race next year, even though it is so early in the season. I love Bend and think it would be an awesome course. They have so much going on that weekend though that I wonder how they do with the organization, etc? They have been holding it for so long that I would hope that they have it all nailed down. Anyone know how hard the bike/run course is? |

Veteran 274 Everett, WA | Subject: RE: Pacific Crest Long Course Tri I browsed through the race reports & the bike looks like a real killer. 5000+ ft elevation gain in the first 38miles. The downhill must be great, though. I saw a couple averages over 20mph. |

Extreme Veteran 586 Edgewater, CO | Subject: RE: Pacific Crest Long Course Tri It is a nice race, but a logistic nightmare. The swim/T1 is about 20 miles from T2. In addition, the finish is not where T2 is, so it seemed like we spent all weekend driving around either picking up or dropping off a bike. |

That doesn't sound right. Where did you get that info? My bad. I took it from a race report without verifying it against the actual course map. Mapmytri.com shows it as about 2360ft total vert. climb. Still a lot, but I climbed 1,900ft in 12 mi. at the Whiskey Dick in Eastern Washington - much more brutal. |

Master 1610 Kirkland, WA | Subject: RE: Pacific Crest Long Course Tri i've heard it gets HOT there - i am not sure if the course utilizes the road up to mt bachelor - i did a relay this year (pull, pedal, paddle), and did the bike leg. this race was just down from mt bachelor to sunriver - something like 3000 ft elevation DECENT. my average was 28 mph  . anyways, likely you have to ride UP part of that during the race, which would be brutal. beautiful area though! |
