Great content! One quick thing I noticed is that adding more targeted keywords in your video tags can help it rank better. If you want, I can share a few more simple strategies that could help your videos get more views. Feel free to reach out if you're interested!

Can you share the details behind the 3:41 pacing from min 3:05 in the video? This is great studying this , running 2024!!

Is it going to be possible to walk from swim exit to T1 before the race? I think it is private property

Hi! Thank you so much. I will try the run walk combo this time. With this course in particular (not sure if matters) but would you suspect a certain ratio to be good start like a 2 min on 30 second walk. I’m about a 7 minute miler 1:27 half PB. But not running a lot of distance at all so trying to conserve knees and all. Thanks!

Great video. Thank you so much. I’m signed up for this one for 2025 and it will be my first 70.3. I know it might be different but this was very informative

Thank you so much for this!!! You provided so much information I couldn't find anywhere else. Liked and Subbed!! Doing this race in the coming weeks and you just helped me feel so much better leading up to it. Newbie question - should i wear normal clothes and take my wetsuit in a bag up to the start line and change into it? Or how does that race morning look like?

Thank you so much

Thanks 🙏

Thank you for sharing the analyses! It is very helpful.

Great explanation! Thanks!

30:33 Just a note... I don't think Observatory Hill is part of the run course this year, so no need to worry about the hill there, thankfully!

This is the same course that they put out for the race but they are saying it only like 4500 ft of elevation? What is the difference?

New *officia* course just released. It looks very similar to this but quotes 4300ft elevation. I mapped it myself and got closer to 5500ft. Can you do a video on the new official course?

Kind of glad I didn't get in this one. Elevation near where I live is nonexistent and only train it on apps with trainer but holy mackerel if it is doubled --- yikes.

Wow! Glad to stumble upon this as I gear up to take this race on in just over two weeks. Amazing analysis!

The run course has been updated for 2024 and is no longer that course.

Thank you great explication

Very poor , only talking ,no pics or videos , why to have your clip I don’t know

This is a fantastic breakdown super informative, will definitely take some of your advice for this year’s race.

thanks for this i am not racing but pumped for my friends doing this race!!

Hey man I think your elevation and route are incorrect. That peak on bob run road is not that much elevation gain. If anything it is flat. Last year it was a quick out and back.

Can you do agusta Maine 70.3 July 28?

Great walkthrough and guidance! Thanks for sharing. Wishing an awesome race to everyone who is participating. Fingers crossed for Mother Nature to cooperate now ;)

Will parking be difficult during race day morning?

Maine ... with an e

Great walkthrough- thank you!

Thanks for the preview!!!

Thanks for this...very helpful!

Thank you for the info!!! I'm excited to do this full for my 1st time. Carbing up now.

Bruh the entire race is outside you talking about exposure to elements 😆

Thanks for this info….especially the part about “pace” in the first 3 miles… Every one flies on the first downhill….and that’s a trap that most fall into…. I raced in 2022 and after waiting around for an hour for delayed start… it was very enticing to fly down the hill…. I won’t fall into that trap this year and appreciate your re-enforcment of the “ stick to pace “ strategy………

Wow way to make sure delivery drivers can’t work

Appreciate this!

This is my 2nd half marathon. My first one was almost COMPLETELY flat, so I'm very nervous about this!

This is great as someone new to this race!

Thank you so much for this breakdown! I’ll be running this is a couple weeks!

Very much looking forward to this race !

Is it possible to see avatar of the riders

good one! thanks :)

Very informative

Hi, as a cyclist I use the basic version. Last days, when I want to set up a training, I get a message to upgrade every time. I can’t enter my training in the calendar that way. I only can enter stuff in today and tomorrow. Do you know something to do or am I doing things wrong? Thanks in advance!

Horrible course. Bumpy

This is hugely helpful, thank you!!! 🙏

Hello thx u so much. How can i find that map on strava?

Thanks A TON! Heading down to do my first IM, very informative!! Cheers

Lots of false thoughts

This is an excellent video detailing the race course on paper but as a local that trains on the course year round,, lots of things are missed. For example, the hill where the narrator references “Schwartz Bay” is less significant in real life and wind model used in the video 99% unlikely to affect your race as suggested; terrain and/or tree cover are more of a factor than suggested. If it is a windy morning, that will very likely be a SE wind blowing in Haro Strait. For your race, you get a decent quartering tailwind pushing you north but on the return south, you are (mostly) in the peninsula’s wind shadow. The information regarding the hills in the last section of the bike is good advice. Have a great weekend and enjoy Victoria.

First time marathoner. What time should I get there? I am staying at the Washington Marriott in 22nd and New Hampshire. Should I take the metro? Or attempt to take a taxi?

Great overview, coming from Coeur d'Alene ID and appreciate the information....

Great video, thanks a bunch. Looking forward to the race. BTW- It's pronounced "Core". Marine Corps.
