This is gonna be a hilly affair for sure! Over the two loops I did, about 12k, I had an elevation gain of 640 feet but the good thing is, since it's a loop and you always come back to your starting point, what goes up must come down. Kinda hard on the ankles but I'll try to make up for the slowdowns going up by pushing it while resting on the way down.
Here's a link to my Garmin workout from this past Sunday:

well, change of course announced as of this morning. No clear picture of what the race course will be but because of some road construction that are running late, this will not be run as a loop around the lake but as a 6km back-and-forth stretch on the North side of the lake. I don't like that as much to be quite honest. To make it 6km back and forth, this means a stretch of 3 km going one way and since my race distance is 18km, I will be doing it 3 times, so a lot of running on always the same road. I never do that kind of running because I find it boring. Now I'll have to do it in a hill so the race now becomes a long hill workout, heh...
