Hi Perry yep, I just checked the course profile in the ultimate guide and sure enough it gains elevation over the first 6 miles but you barely notice it. In fact until I looked at the course profile this is not how I would've described it. However, it gets better than that because miles 17 -20 seemed downhill to me (the turnaround is at 20) but miles 20 - 23 also seemed downhill!! Go figure, there is really only one noticeable hill but I can't remember where it was!! Anyway best of luck, I'm sure you break 2:50. Let us know how you get along. All the best Ben Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
