BIG HILLS -IRONMAN UK
Entered my first Ironman, the August one in Dorset. I did the first 3 HIMUK's including the first one in Sherbourne and remember a bit of a big hill. Now, can anyone help? The race profile shows a hill about 250 metres, repeated 3 times. We have ridden to Brighton a couple of times now and struggled up Ditchling Beacon which seems to be about the same height as the one in the race profile. Is it really that bad? Any one with a bit of local knowledge, ease my anguish[&o]

I have a similar hill on my training runs so I'll just practice going up that a few times to get more used to it.
I guess the thing I keep remembering is that nobody told us it would be easy did they?!
Maybe not, but it seems easier than trying this out. It appears to be on my IT skills and my computer capacity.
I still think I remember my mate telling me it would be easy[:'(]
I went to sherbourne this weekend, and did the bike course...Talk about easy, i was doing 30 mph no problem for most of it, the hills were a little tricky though and went on for a while.... Did i mention i was in my car....Oh my god, they are massive.This is not going to be fun....To be fair there are some awesome downhill bits, and some amazing views, so fingers crossed, we may just make it...!
