This will be my first time participating in this event.
It appears that I have chosen a crappy first event based on race reports and valid complaints regarding the bike and run.
I have some newbie questions:
1) The Bike Cut-Off:
Per the guide, 5 hours and 30 minutes after the final wave start. There is are intermediate cut-offs at Aid Station 4 at 1 PM and at T2 at 1:55 PM.
If your wave starts at 7:30a and the final wave starts at 8:25a. So does the participant get 5hrs and 30 minutes starting at 8:25a?
Theoretically, if you finish the swim early, you have more time on the bike?
2) How bad are these rolling hills?
3) Does anyone know the road conditions this year?
Thanks in advanced for the contribution.
