How bad are we talking when referring to Cardiac Hill and Godzilla? Runable? Unrunable? I'm a very average runner!
Yes they are runnable. Slowly. I am also an average runner. But, not sure you want to. Cardiac comes early, about mile 2, and it’s honestly pretty short. It’s only a couple minutes of walking before it flattens out. I didn’t see a need to push here so early.
It doesn’t have a name, but the climb out of swim 1 isn’t as steep but it just doesn’t relent. As I recall run 2 is basically a couple miles up a couple miles down
Godzilla is bad because it’s long, steep, and comes right about mile 17 or 18. It’s also runnable, but I’ve never seen the need to. And when you think you’re at the top you’re not.
The last .5 mile run or whatever it is to Skytop is actually the steepest, but the one you should run. Most everyone is walking it just trying to get up. Very very few people actually run it (“run” in quotes). If you run this you’re a stud no matter what kind of runner you are.
