Subject: RE: Looking for a flat destination 70.3Originally posted by buckeyeguy77
Racine is about as flat of a bike course as I know of. Somewhere around 500 ft of total elevation gain. Run is flat except for two short but steep hills that you have to run twice each. Plus, it's not too far for you and it's in mid July.
Wouldn't say Racine is a "destination" location. Though Milwaukee just 45 minutes north is awesome in the summer.
Boulder 70.3 is a good choice, flat course but looks of sun exposure at elevation makes it difficult. Still a great place for a destination race.
REV 3 Maine is another awesome location that I would classify as designation too.
Unfortunately flat and destination don't always go hand in hand. But if your willing to open up for hills you unlock some great destinations. |
