agreed, on that map it looks like it is just over 25k. Also, that 12% grade according to their map shows ~100m of vert.
We did the last part of the IM course as an Oly today. 2 x 10km out of transition and back
There are a few 12% sections not incredibly long. It's not an easy section, several 400w spikes. just to get to the top of a hill.
DI2 would have been nice, it was continuous shifting. Compact and 11x27 was welcome. Could have done it with the 12x25 but I wouldn't if I wanted to keep my VI low.
Coming in and leaving, we drove a good part of the rest of the course. Long rollers.
Tremblant is going to be a spectactular IM venue. The whole thing is really well done with the resoirt embracing the whole TRI thing. There were cyclists everywhere. The roads were perfect. The lake is clear (but cold). The run course was not the 70.3 or IM course.
There is lots of room for parking. Transition is well set up although far from swim (500m). Doing the Oly this weekend, then the 70.3, then the IM, it will be well tuned.
This is going to be an amazing event. Well done Mt Tremblant.
