I wouldn't say the HH was easy, but I felt like I could have gone another 60- 90 minutes more on flats. I'm not sure if I had many hills left in me though.
If you are in that shape at the time of the NYGF, I'd say you'd be able to complete it but find it hard (assuming you pace yourself on hills).
Note that it's not just elevation gain; it's grade too.
