Subject: RE: Deer Creek Triathlon - Olympic : Official ThreadJust got back from Deer Creek as well, it was definitely windy on top of the dam. I ran ~ 1.5 miles, the grass is about medium height, not too bad. I drove the bike course, and there are several hazards well marked with red paint, like slightly sunken smaller metal plates (covering utilities I guess ), and some breakup of the roadway on the right, but they're marked so be aware. Also about 1/4 mile in on Dick road, there is some standing water to the right, I seem to remember it there in the past. It came about 3 feet into the right lane, and could be a lot worse with more rain over night. Beyond that, maybe another 1/4 mile or more- don't remember exactly, is a gravel filled section someone mentioned above that was dug across the road, it is a decent dip in one part of it so be careful. Be careful on the sharp 90 degree turns at intersections, there's some loose gravel depending on the line you take. Hope the weather cooperates, everyone have a great race! Steve |
