Elite  3683      Whispering Pines, North Carolina |  Subject: Pinehurst International Triathlon : Official ThreadI rode the PIT course today and I have to say that is one tough course! There are some fast sections, and the roads are mostly smooth, but the hills sure start to eat you up after the first half. I also have to voice my displeasure at how rough, rough, rough Firefox Rd and Darby Rd were. I really hope there is a plan to repave those roads. I was so jarred up after that section of the route that my shoulders felt like I had just done military presses! The final 5 miles is also pretty darn tough. The hills just seem to be long and gradual and you really have to work at it. I also ran part of the run route after the ride. The hills just sap your already tired legs. That's going to be a fun, tough race. |

Elite 3060 N Carolina | Subject: RE: Pinehurst International Triathlon : Official Thread It is a tough course. But it is also a FUN course. Now you know why it is called "PineHURTS"!!!!!! If you ever want a buddy to ride with, I'm always willing to ride that course. For some reason, I just can't get enough of it......... Alan |

Elite 3683 Whispering Pines, North Carolina | Subject: RE: Pinehurst International Triathlon : Official Thread So, do you ppl think Pinehurst is too close to B2B to race hard, or is two weeks plenty of time to recover? Doing the half. |

Veteran 134 Kannapolis, NC | Subject: RE: Pinehurst International Triathlon : Official Thread What's the water temp at the lake right now? Hubby and I may drive down there Friday night and sign up last minute for the race. However, we both prefer it to be wetsuit legal (poor swimmers). |
