It may well be easier fixed in some respects. The rolling terrain is easy to hill bomb, I passed many geared riders on the short climbs. There were some descents where I wished for a freewheel. The main issue for me riding fixed over that distance is not really getting a break/change in position - not being able to stretch while riding or just have a rest.
