Hi, looking for info from folks that have done this course.
I am tasked with setting up a bike for a age grouper girl for Ironman world champs.
I have just had a look at the course profile and the question she has asked is, is she better on her TT or maybe take the road bike?
She has just qualified on a much flatter Port Maquarie course with an average speed around 30km/h.
I see the course profile shows mostly gentle grades but also says max grade of 22.1% with some amount around 8-10%
Any info from those that know the course would be appreciated especially what the descending is like and what gearing you ran or wished you had run.
Thanks in advance.
