I raced IMMT in 2014/15 and IMLP in 2017.
**Weather can be unpredictable: prepare for rain, cold, wind, or heat**
Swim: Self-seeded 2 loops, there is a cable that runs the course. Congested on 1st loop, easy to follow others swimming wide. 2nd loop can follow cable.
Bike: Bike exit out of transition has 180 degress hairpin turn. Long 4-6% grade hills, nothing steep like IMMT. Hills at beginning(Ski Jump), middle(3 hills: God, Market, ...) and end of each loop(Ski area-->Cherries-->Bears). On Keene descent you can easily hit 40+ mph, hope it is paved this year. New course adds some elevation, old course to Ausable forks was fairly flat.
Run: Downhill start, uphill return on each loop. Hills are like Quassy.
I also in for Quassy Half.
