Kansas Ironman 7.3
Last weekend I scouted the bike and run course. The bike course is hillier than expected. Its going to surprise a lot of people I think. The wind is severe, as there is not much to disipate it across the farmlands. I was thinking I could do the bike portion (56 miles) in 3 hours, but the wind is pretty hairy. Now, in case anyone says 56 miles in 3 hours? Easy! The race isn't over at that point. There's a little half marathon waiting for you. You have to "pace" yourself. Its fun to blow past people on a bike, but not fun to die on the run. All being said, the season has officially started for me, and I'm racing the next 7 weekends. All duathlons or triathlons. |
