I've done Wildflower (LC) before, and, unless the course has changed, I can assure you that it's not a 2-mile 13% climb right after the swim. The Nasty Grade, which is prob. 40 miles into the course, is probably something that might be of more concern.
I suggest hooking up with your local ex-Wildflower vets and asking them about it. How fun. I miss that event.
