Keystone State Tri (Lewisberry, PA)

I have not done this race but work with the Race Director and last weekend we held a clinic here.  After the clinic, I road the bike course. 

Swim: The lake is really calm and was pretty warm as of last weekend, not sure of the actual temp but felt close to the wetsuit cutoff temp.

Bike: large climb in the first mile and a half.  Nothing too bad but remember to keep some energy for the second time around.  Decent is good and long and can make up some time here, the back side of the course starts uphill sligly and then goes down pretty fast.  At the end of this downhill secion there is a right hand turn that come up pretty fast, be careful making this turn and dont cut it too close to the side of the road, there is a rain storm gait.  Next half of the course is pretty flat, but after you cross over a small bridge, there is a second climb that will again hit your legs pretty hard.  The final part is rolling but overall pretty fast.

Good Luck!

I raced it last year.  Here's my RR:

Thanks for the input, fellas...it has been helpful in allowing me to mentally prepare.

If there is anybody else out there who has done it or is familiar with the course, I'd be interested to hear more...
