Lots of great suggestions here, thanks everyone.
To those peeps who suggested the Auburn Tri--I like it, but I am supposed to do a sub 7 hour HIM to validate my entry into the other race. Which normally wouldn't be a problem, but looking at last year's results, only 38 of the 92 finishers were sub-7. Good Lord, how hard is this race?! Sounds like they have taken 2K+ of the climbing on the bike course out, so that will make things faster but geez. What do you think one would add to their standard HIM time to guesstimate a finish time at Auburn?
Yep, auburn in the past added time. But with the new easier bike course, we have no basis as to what the bike times will be like now. I know the old half bike course, which I have ridden a number of times, was a killer, like 5K of climbing. But the new course, which was changed on purpose to make it easier, will give much faster race times.
So if want an easy course, Auburn is not it. If you want a great course, as many who have done have stated, you will have a lot of fun. And Ryan at USAP productions is making lots of great changes to make it even better.
Now, maybe someone can comment on the new bike course, since many have probably ridden it, or parts of it. I believe I have and it clearly is much faster than the old course!!
