The 70.3 Boulder course
After a one-loop swim in the Boulder Reservoir, athletes will head out for a series of short rollers on the bike course before tackling some long and fast descents. This should make for some tactical racing (read: fun to watch), especially with a two-loop format that will likely see lots of lead position changes. On the run, another two-loop course awaits, but with a twist – much of the run is on packed dirt roads, not pavement. Those who live and train in Boulder will recognize the Monarch Road segment of the course, a stretch of road made famous by the likes of Ironman World Champions Craig “Crowie” Alexander and Mirinda “Rinny Carfrae. As far as weather goes, it looks to be an ideal day for racing, with temperatures forecasted in the high 50s at start time and rising to the low 70s as the day progresses.
