A training ride (in the rain...)

Sunday is the Sooke Spring Sprint Triathlon (700m swim in a pool, 20km bike and 5km run). I do not know Sooke very well but enough to know that it's a hilly place. I have to see this course before I race there. There are several reasons for this:

  1. I want to know what the road looks like (potholes etc...)
  2. I want to be able to imagine myself riding this place
  3. I want to see what those hills look like and convince myself that I will not fall off my bike... (see pic below: elevation map)
