In analogy with Bristol newbie's thread about Ironman advice, I'd like to know what people think about the 70.3 courses. Which ones are easier on the swim, bike or run section? Or, which are easier courses due to altitude, weather, ....?
I want to do my first HIM-race this season, but dont know which one?

I don't stress about the course, just wanted to ask the opinion of some people on the forum, who have experience with 70.3. Thats what the forum is for; swapping info.
I'm interested in UK, Antwerp and Germany, one of those three I wanna do, timing is no problem.
Thanks,
Benny
I have completed the IM UK 70.3 a couple of times.
Its a lovely race. The terrain is quite hilly, but the weather is usually cool. The swim is in a large reservior.
a great atmosphere throughtout the whole weekend.
There is a middel distance tri in Aberfeldy in Scotland which is also a good one to try. Weather is always crap but the bike is a good challenge.
Good hunting
