Training for this one at the moment. long spins going well, as is the climbing (on the bike).

With the climbs, what are peoples general thoughts/ intentions regarding the bike section (TT or Road bike)

Thanks

The climbs are minor. Its the descents that would influence my choice of bikes

Depends on how I descend and corner on my TT bike.

Or maybe how I descend and corner.

IMO It is a course for a TT bike without question regardless of descending ability

mossym

jah-sus ye're dropping like flies...did ye hear something bad?

bryangiggsy

First time doing this race. I heard the run is brutal. Can anyone compare the run to any other races in ireland ? Kilkee , boe, blacksod .. Albeit twice the distance

j0hn1

Most of the run last year wasn't too bad other than the swim and bike that came before it :-)
The hill in the final third was tough alright, just take it easy going up that and you'll be fine. There's a long stretch alternating flat / draggy after the top, but then its downhill to the finish. Save some legs to run the downhill.
The mistake I made last year was attacking the hill too fast (trying to keep up with someone else) and then blowing up near the end of the uphill.

I agree, run is a bit undulating for first 10k, bit of a flat section then a tough hill but hill is only maybe 2-3 mins ,after that its fine... not the worst half marathon, its the bike that's a b!tch

A long bike ride today told me I'm not endurance-fit, so I too have an entry going if someone wants to transfer.

No water stops on bike (or if there was I was going too fast to see them:D)
Water and Hi Five stops every few km's on the run and in the last 2 stops on the run there is water, high five and coca cola
