6:20 VA Do not know what to expect.  First time.  Hear first climb is a bit of a killer.  How does climbs compaire to Dome 2 Dome and other races?

 

I'm joining you in VA's - also 1st time! Looks like we'll have to warm-up for some seriaas climbing...

 

It'll be tough to make up 25 mins on the elite ladies... the wife can see me finish for a change...

 

Any info about the route is welcome...

How tough is this race? I am in VB batch and fear I will wave my bunch goodbye at the first hill.

 

HARD 1st 60km is uphillCry

No real hills to talk of.  A couple gentle climbs in the first 11km, then Inchanga, followed by a few short, sharp bumps between Drummond and the Hillcrest offramp on the M13.  After that its all downhill through to Suncoast (unless you count the N3 onramp and Tollgate as hills).

 

The real hills will be on Saturday in and around Giba Gorge.

 

don't worry about being droped from VA.  VB, then VC, then VD etc will all approach from behind.  Just stay out of their way but in their slip and all will be fine.

all the ladies seem to start before the elite/u23 men

as for the course, you start with fox hill(14km) and then have inchanga, drummond and a few bumps from hillcrest.

 

the only thing about fox is that it is right at the start, it is not as bad as some make out but will get the heart pumping.

 

if one can stick with their bunch up fox you should be able to stay with them till inchanga
