The Westernport Wall is the steepest climb in all of road triathlon. At just four street blocks the Westernport Wall is not particularly long, but it starts steep and gets steeper, culminating in a final block on a stretch of road so steep that it has long been closed to traffic.
With its poor pavement, an average grade of 25% and a max pitch of 31%, successfully getting up the final block of the Westernport Wall takes a bit of skill, a bit of luck, and a lot of True Savage determination!

mental_floss Blog » 6 Races That Make Marathons Look Wimpy
Posted On 4/7/2008 6:22:45 AM by TriFatlete
I’m currently training for a marathon. When I’m on a long training run and start to think, “This is stupid…” I don’t stop and remind myself why I’m trying to run a 26.2-mile race.
