 Brief stop to regroup.  Jill talked about how she breaks this course up in her mind when she races, and she shared some pacing tips with the group. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jill gathered the group at several points along the way to help them hone in on their race strategy.  The team had a chance to ride the hill several times.

 

  

 

 

 

 

Having won this race in 2005 and 2006, Jill had a few pointers to offer.  After scanning the course, the team headed up for some repeats on Zoo Hill. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The team ran the run course, and then Jill walked them through transition.   Several team mates then went for a swim.
