I am signed up for the 70.3 set for August. A few questions after reading through the results for men 30-34 and men 35-39, respectively.
1. Bike course is really, really fast, looks to only be 1800 ft of total climbing, but with a lot of descending. I also assume the thin air aids the bike times. Does this course feel as fast as the times look?
2. Run times look a bit slower than what you would normally see. I assume this is when the altitude is biting back at folks. Was it really hot last year? How does the 2016/2017 run course compare to 2015? I was a spectator in 2015 and it was hot, dusty, and crowded out on the run.
Thanks all.
