The UK70.3 is an amazing event - well organised, well supported and a beautiful location...but it is an absolutely hideous course!! It's not called the toughest course in the world for nothing!
Having said that - do it, the sense of achievement you'll get when you cross the line is amazing. I loved it, even though it was extremely tough.
I train in the north of scotland, near Aberdeen - we have one or two 'wee hills' here and I still found the bike leg hard going.
Like anything else you do - put in the training - enjoy the race.
Good luck - let us know what you decide.
