So to bump this thread did anyone race this weekend just gone in the end? How was it if so, considering it for next year but wanted to see what the feedback was like before committing!
It is the most spectacular race i have ever done. They did a mistake on the swim course, shortening it. Other than that, race organization was impeccable and the course is magnificent
Swim: lake water is crystal clear, always coldish and it will always be a wetsuit legal. Setup is amazing with Alps in the background, sunrise happening in the middle of the swim, sun coming up behind the mountain peak
Bike: 1950m total elevation has been measured by my Garmin 830. It can brake your legs if you dont know the course. it is not tough like Lanza or Wales because gradients are always on 6% or so. maybe you touch 7% in short parts. I did it with a single chainring 48 and 33 behind. I had margin with gears. Descents are very fast, straight, nothing technical. Landscape are really great on 80% of the course.
Run: 3x14km super flat and the scenery is also fantastic here. best run course i have ever been. You have maybe 1km boring over 14km, which are on a sidewalk at the beginning of the loop
I would suggest this race to anyone. i live in Zurich and i know the area well. just PM me for more info
