I am doing this triathlon this weekend and since I am driving from Virginia, I will need a place to stay. Does anybody have any recommendations about places to stay that are close to this race? Also, can somebody provide some information about the bike and run course (hilly, shaded, etc)?
I can't tell you where to stay but i did this race in the late 90s and can tell you a bit about it assuming it is the same course. SInce it is in south jersey that means FLAT. The swim was a box course (wetsuits allowed). The bike was dead flat (some shade) with LOTS of drafting going on. (I had a lively "discussion" during the race with one competitor who had a reputation for drafting and who just happened to pass me while at the back of a pack.) The run was flat with one little rise near the end (up a bridge maybe??).
The interesting thing was that this was the only race where I have ever seen someone refuse her award because she admitted she got caught in a pack on the bike. They had cool custom ceramic awards and I think certificates to the local bike shop plus IIRC - post-race pizza and massages - awesome!! Could all be different now though, for all I know.
