Hi there,
Im looking into the options for the harder Iron-distance races and stumbled across this: The Evergreen 228, http://www.evergreen-endurance.com/en/welcome/. The course looks beautiful but serious... Unless I'm mistaken this looks like it may be one of the Hardest long distance Tri's out there - certainly in terms of height gain, although I think they do have an extended cut off time of 24Hrs? There is also the half Iron (EG2118) but I'm a bit 'all or nothing'!
Has anyone raced this event before or can they offer a comparison to Norseman/Swissman etc? I'm a very experienced trail/ ultra runner and this race could suit me, its nice to see this event bringing in a trail run marathon. Also can anyone advise on the best Gear ratio for a bike course like this?
Thanks
