SavageMan is coming. Sept. 21. You've got to click on the link, just to see the slideshow of course images that plays in the banner, including beautiful misty images of the foggy lake swim last year. You just gotta see this course. It'll make you want to register.
I'm still in my 2-week post-marathon rest from running, but I'm back to biking the 16 miles to work Wednesday thru Friday.
I haven't recovered enough from everything (illness, marathon) enough to be able to bike The Monster Hill, which I have determined via GPS to be, disappointingly, only about 11% grade over 0.2 miles. Wednesday I walked it to measure it; yesterday I started riding it but bailed after probably 50 yards.
I have got to get back to getting up that hill. The Westernport Wall at SavageMan averages 25%, with one section at 31%.
I've got 6-and-a-half months. With hills around Winchester, VA, where we'll be staying, and sojourns into nearby Garrett County to see our family, including baby Sarah, who is due May 22; I expect to train on the actual race course during those visits.

Wow, what a beautiful site for a Triathlon - and man..that hill grade is amazing. So, who's doing this one???
Well, it doesn't want to make me register but I'm all for you doing it :-) Great you'll be able to train on the actual course. I can't even imagine slopes of 25-31%!
