any opinions on the Vineman IM for a flatlander with only a little hill training. 95% of my rides are less than 75' elevation.

Hi--I've done the aqua bike and the 70.3.  And I ran with one IM participant one year.

The bike is rolling hill--expect for Chalk Hill.  Take that hill slow and don't push it.   

The run is much more hilly.  There are three major hill on the loop.  The first hill has a false summit--so pace better.  The third one is the steepest.   My quads cramped for the first time on that hill.   

Also, a good idea is to check out the prior race reports.

ps.  Great race and a wonderful race director/volunteers.
