The graph above shows the profile of the old and new courses. I have adjusted the vertical height so that you can make a direct comparison. You'll notice that the new route is more of a gradual uphill and gradual downhill and a lot more benign than the old course.

Hi J;
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a big difference in elevation and will make it a faster race.
It will suit more people and probably draw a bigger crowd, which always creates a great atmosphere, although for 20€ you couldn't flaw this race one bit. It is always so well organised.
Personally,I'm going to miss the hill, as it really made you work for your time.
Is this going to be the new course going forward or is it a "Test Year" ?
Is it a HAT or a MEDAL ?
The suspense is killing me.
Cheers J.
