Subject: RE: Traverse City Triathlon I have done the Olympic every year except one (4/5 or 5/6, I can't remember ). This is a very well run, fun race.
The swim in the bay is usually a little brisk but has been very calm every year that I have done it.
The bike crosses Old Mission Peninsula twice for the Olympic so I am assuming at least four times for the 70.3. The maps I have looked at look like the half distance is two loops of the Olympic plus some extra thrown in. That means the bike is moderately hilly. A couple fairly vigorous climbs but they are over pretty quickly.
The run is remarkably flat. It does have a small section of off road with a little bit of sand. There are a couple small hills but nothing too hard.
I would highly encourage you to sign up and do this race. I'm signed up and looking forward to it. |
