Had the pleasure of talking with triathlete legend Roch Frey the other day about the (sold out) Rhoto Ironman California 70.3 event. Those among you who have been racing the tri-circuit for awhile will quickly recognize the new name as the course formerly known as Ralph's. New name, same fame. As in infamous, that 56 miles on the bike. Like Roch says it is not a fast course. It is about power and strength. It helps if you have a long and proud relationship with the Marines, too.
Our telephone conversation was the backbone of the highlight vid I subsequently slapped together to promote the latest release from the CompuTrainer Real Course Video line of training products. Yes, now you can ride all 56 miles of this monstrously challenging course, one that can only be ridden in its gnarly entirety on race day, in the comfort and security of your own quarters. One word of caution: Get a fan first!
We have a little 12 miler scheduled for the CT MR center in a few hours. It is my day off, so I thought I'd get in a ride after a nice, frosty 5K in the park. The intrepid among you wanting to preview the Oceanside RCV course can now do so by:
Going here to purchase, or
Schedule a date to ride at the CompuTrainer Multi-Rider Center at the Bainbridge Athletic Club.
Either way be prepared for some major OO-RAH!
