It's race course recon time again! This time, it's the new Ironman Washington 70.3 Tri-Cities course, moving to Pasco / Kennewick / Richland for the next few years. I will note that this preview doesn't include the first five miles and between 48 and 53 as those are pretty uneventful flat sections that doesn't have anything special. The hills on the other hand... I'll let you see the video for yourself and determine how to approach those! Time stamps below for which mile section(s) and when the hills are, along with a section or two which you'll need to look out for.
