Just curious why you say this race is a "brutal" way to start the season. I'm doing for first time.....any info you can share? Thanks
Perhaps "brutal" was too strong a word...  I love the race - my wife complains about it every year, but yet somehow she still comes along, and actually does quite well in it. The bike is moderately hilly - not overly so - but it's not a flat-and-fast screamer of a course like many other races. The kicker I feel is the run. It has lots of short steep hills spread out throughout. It's a beautiful run around the lake and through the local neighborhoods - just be ready for some hills. |
