Race Conditions
When Challenge Taiwan was raced in 2013 and 2014, it was a pretty quick course, especially on the bike. After taking a breather in 2015, the race was back this year and has been quite a bit slower than in the past. I’m not sure if there have been course changes or if the weather was exceptionally hot this year – in any case the bike was roughly four minutes slower and the run about 12 minutes.
