I echo the above... bike course is flat after the hill out of T1, run is a PITA out of T2, but a fast, fun downhill last mile or so to the finish.
Regarding race officials and drafting, there are none of the former and plenty of the latter. I had a woman glued to my wheel for about half of the bike course last year. Exiting T2 we are next to each other, and she says, "nice ride". I just ignored her. Then she says to me all snotty, "you Illinois people are all the same". It took all of my patience not to lay into her about what a rotten no good cheater she is, but I figured it wouldn't have done any good, and besides I was there to race, not argue.
What so the Illinois folks are unfriednly but at least play by the rules. Where was she froom WI... where they are nice and friendly but like ot cheat? Please. the nerve of soem people. Maybe she's an idiot and doesnt; realize that what she was doign was cheating.
Honestly if someone's on my wheel for a long time, it's never happened, but I'd be tempted to screw with the pace enough to make it clear I don't appreciate them cheating.
