The ONLY reason it was a PR course is normally on years I've done Ironman my schedule included almost no races. I did this course after a winter of 50-60 mile run weeks and I nailed it (sub 1:30 I had been chasing and finally broke). No doubt had I done a flatter course I would have shaved off even more time but as it stands today, Big L is my fastest 13.1 I'm woefully out of shape right now for cardio right now thanks to traveling for work and being on the road (20 pounds heavier than I should be too, DOH!) I think I'm going to use this to ramp up the training albeit it on hotel treadmills. I miss the long bike rides too.
Keith also does the Timberman Tri as RD and is as good as it gets when it comes to race details.
Edit: I have really like the fact that Make-A-Wish was the recipient of that many donations. Very well run organization and worthy cause.
