| Comment | > If you're solidly pink wave like me there's the uphill bit around mile 2 where you're next to the motorway where a LOT of people who went out too fast start dropping like flies getting in your way, so you have to exert more energy to get around them.
This is absolutely correct. The first time I did this race I was trying to be modest with my expected time which is a mistake. There are a couple choke points where it can get real backed up and you spend a lot of time either running around people or waiting which can be really frustrating. Better to slightly over estimate your time than under really. Although you don't want to go the wrong way, that same first year I was in the pink wave but passed tons of green towards the end of the race. |
