hi all experts! I am getting ready for my first half and I am having a hard time finding what to expect with hills on the course. Where they are and how long they last. Any tips?
The overpasses are deceptive, though. Never really gave much thought to how banked they were either, until I ran on them.
Maybe a quarter mile. I just remember hitting it towards the end of a W&D I was really pushing for a time goal on after having a good rhythm going and being all like, “well, froggy, we’re gonna need to dig a little deeper.”Ok so the overpassed are the challenge. When you say they are long is that a quarter mile or worse? Sorry. I just have hill phobia and surprise ones are worse! Thank you!!! Also maybe need to ask elsewhere but is navigating the starting area self-explanatory? Have only done local races. Largest had 1000 people I think. We have race retreat set up. I just feel overwhelmed with all the info and really nervous about messing it up! I had a dream I missed my corral starting because I was buying ice cream!
