I am actually heading out to Vegas in a few weeks to meet some friends and going to ride the course again. Want to see if I fair better at 60 degrees vs. 90. |

The hills for this race scare me...a LOT. Insight from veterans??? There are not any real "climbs" at silverman IMO, but it's always up or down. Yes it's a bit hard, but it's not crazy. Just make sure you train hills, as well as moderate climbs on the run Edited by ChrisM 2015-05-02 11:11 PM |

Just make sure you train hills, as well as moderate climbs on the run It was one of the harder races I have done but the scenery is beautiful. My garmin clocked the bike course at 4,700 feet of elevation gain, so there is a bit of climbing but no long sustained ones. I overbiked based on my level of fitness and conditions, it was >90 degrees, so paid for it on the run. Chris is right... on both the bike and run you are always going up or down, very few flats. I will be back this year so it couldn't have been that bad. |

Regular 161 Los Angeles | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Silverman : Official Thread Be comfortable climbing hills and maximizing your speed on descents. Be comfortable running rollers in dry heat. The DNF rate was through the roof last year... |

| 38 | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Silverman : Official Thread My wife and i are both signed up for Silverman and wondering where to stay. We expect to be there for 7 days, it will be a mini-vacation for us and first time in Vegas. Is it realistic to stay near the strip (i like resort type hotels) or should we be staying in Henderson ? Still debating also if we are flying our bikes or renting. Thanks |

The DNF rate was through the roof last year... Do you know what it was (i mean, the DNF, I know it was Hot My other advice if I didn't say it above is save something for the last 5-8 miles of the bike. You're our of the park, and the bigger climbing is dine, but it's still uphill to T2, I found this to be the toughest part of the day mentally on the bike |
