Well now the pain is starting to be a little more bearable in the legs I am now trying to decide what event to go for next....
I have managed to gain my wife's limited support to do a full IM (if I give up doing Reserve Forces stuff...) but which one??
I do best at swimming (not pushing it I came out of the water in 81st at Wimbleball) so a hard swim event would be best but also one which has a relatively low hill content would be good....
Thoughts?

Macca won Germany last year in less than 8 hours
Yvonne Van Vlerken set a new Ironman distance triathlon woman's world record at Roth.
Thus they must both be flat and fast. Also as both are in Germany, I would imagine the conditions to be fairly similar to what we have here.
Fast yes, flat no. It's not UK 70.3 hilly, but if you want a flat course I don't think its going to do you any favors. I'd love to do Roth myself and am seriously considering it for next year. However that will require a new TT bike instead of the roady I just got two months ago.
what is IM NZ like?? Worth the travel?

It's a sea swim and pretty flat bike (although next to coast so could be breezy!)
The swim looks nice and the bike looks fast (if a bit hilly - but not Wimbleball hilly) with a flat city marathon...
Thoughts anyone??
