Kinda botched my training for this summer - had too much on my hands and haven't been able to give it the time and attention it deserves, so i've registered for this tri:

at the end of september to see if I can give it a bit of a better go. (i'm off from 31st of august until october so i can do a serious amount of training in the lead up to this!)

Does the cycle or run course look a bit daunting to anyone?

It's certainly scared the crap out of me!!!!:eek:

Looks like a fun course. They sometimes look a lot worse on the elevation charts. If it is in the area - go drive the course and "see" what it is really like.
It looks like good courses for both the run and bike.

It looks a little challenging, but isn't supposed to be?

Give it a shot!!:D

Hmmm... it looks to me like total variance is only about 22m, so ~66 feet. Actually sounds kind of flat. Am I missing something?

Never mind, that was the run. Yep, looks rolling! Enjoy it though, not that bad.
