Timberman 70.3
Reviewed by: vmarwin, Fri Jan 13 2006
Price Paid: $175.00
Pros: Beautiful Course, Great Amenities (Headsweats visors, t-shirts, waterbottles, number belts)
Cons: Far away
This is a great 70.3 race! The course is gorgeous and Lake Winnipesaukee is crystal clear and the swim is well marked. The transition area is large enough to comfortably fit everyone. The bike course is very hilly, so be prepared for some fast descents (45 mph +). The run course is less hilly but still be prepared for some hills. There are aid stations well stocked every mile on the run, which makes up for the tough course. Overall, its a great race, I did it in 2005 and loved it, would definitley go back if NH wasn't so far from me...
