Subject: RE: 8/5 niantic bay newbie I did Niantic last year and probably will again this year. The bike route is about as flat as your going to find for a route of that distance in Connecticut - mostly flat with a couple of rollers. The run is dead flat.
Make sure you get in some open water swims. It was a little choppy last year, but not too bad.
Maybe the hardest part is going from the swim to the bike, as there is a little bit of a run up a hill. Also, make sure that your bike is in the small ring because you head out on a slight uphill grade. My husband watched from the transition area and said there were a lot of people falling over trying to clip in. Best of luck in your training!
