I won a lottery slot for Ironman kona 2010 and i am really nervous about being prepared for the bike route. Is it as hard as everyone makes it out to be.
I will also be racing Kona and from what I here it really depends on the day. You can go to the World Championship web site and they have a profile of the bike and run course that show elevation. Elevation will not be the challenge. The big challenges will be heat and wind. Heat is probably a given but the wind can be calm or you could have gusts over 50mph.
I qualified at IMSG and everyone says if its not really windy the bike course at Kona is easier than at IMSG.
Train in the heat as much as possible and make sure you have your nutrition and hydration down. |
