Riders did two loops, the hills are significant, but as far as elevation data, I don't have it. There is a monster hill you need to climb just getting out of transition. The ones that are on the road are tough, but the road is straight and the downhills more than make up for the ride up. I'd focus on doing hill repeats once a week. Good luck! It was a really great race. I wish I was doing it again this year!Diane Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084765075214729323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583003359759921834.post-45693156033072376862013-07-21T07:46:40.034-07:002013-07-21T07:46:40.034-07:00So I'm doing Steelman this year, my first Olym...So I'm doing Steelman this year, my first Olympic. I train in Pittsburgh, I'm curious if you have any elevation data for the hills?

I think the obvious way to improve my swim would've been to visit the pool a little more often. :)Diane Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084765075214729323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583003359759921834.post-73101767340461159242012-08-13T11:48:34.558-07:002012-08-13T11:48:34.558-07:00Wearing the wetsuit might have come back to haunt ...Wearing the wetsuit might have come back to haunt you on the run(dehydration and cramping). Despite the tougher swim it may have been a good decision in the long RUN. My swim this year was 2 mins slower than last, and it was much more enjoyable last year. Good finish!
