It's race course recon time again! This time, it's the new Ironman Washington 70.3 Tri-Cities course, moving to Pasco / Kennewick / Richland for the next few years. I will note that this preview doesn't include the first five miles and between 48 and 53 as those are pretty uneventful flat sections that doesn't have anything special. The hills on the other hand... I'll let you see the video for yourself and determine how to approach those! Time stamps below for which mile section(s) and when the hills are, along with a section or two which you'll need to look out for.
Time Stamps:
0:00 - From T1
1:09 - Mile 50 road conditions
2:02 - Start at Mile 5 - First hill
2:46 - Second hill at Mile ~8.5 - Pay attention to this!
4:36 - Mile 15
6:23 - Mile 20
9:05 - Mile 25
9:46 - Start of the 3rd Climb
11:17 - Mile 30

20:40 - Mile 55 (I skipped miles 48 to 53)
21:06 - My initial thoughts

I thought it was more climbing than this shows. You might have just convinced me to do it next year! Getting the hills over at the start isn't so bad.

What mount do you use for the bike POV?!? I’m struggling to find one I like!! Great video of course.
