Thank you for the info! I am trying to find one where the run is not VERY hilly, because I am not such a great runner. I plan to entertain myself next week by doing a little spreadsheet of all these with info like "swim shorter than usual" and "run VERY hilly"--can you tell I'm paranoid about that one?--and then talk it over with my coach and pick a couple of Olys, and a couple of sprints as well.

I don't mind "hard", in general. I will be glad to do a full Oly swim and I might not be as fast on the bike as I would like but I can do a hilly course. I am just such a new and relatively slow runner that I would like it not to move from "hard" to "awful".
