Considering doing Super Frog this year, but was curious what peoples experience was with it? I had a couple of concerns:
1. 2 lap swim
2. 4 lap bike course
3. 4 lap run
4. running in sand
5. no pros did it last year (why?)
6. why is it so "cheap"?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
1. 2 lap swim- Not an issue as long as you are comfortable getting in/out of the surf/break. It has been known to be quite "big", but usually once through it is isn't all that bad.
2. 4 lap bike course- It's flat and fast, just going to be a bit congested due to the amount of laps it is. If you are a fast rider it could be frustrating, but really comes down to what speed you ride at to how frustrating it may be.
3. 4 lap run- I haven't done the new run course, but the previous course I believe was only 2 loops and wasn't bad.
4. running in sand- It wasn't bad on the old course, but not sure how much more/less there is on the new course. If the tides are right you can typically run in the "harder" sand, but not sure if the sand sections are still right along the water or not?
5. no pros did it last year (why?) Quite simple, there hasn't been a prize purse since it became an IM/WTC event.
6. why is it so "cheap"? I don't think it's on the "cheap" side, unless I'm missing something here?
