Half ironman in 2010
After a succesful first year of sprint tris, I want to step it up in 2010. I've got a couple of Olympic distance races planned, but I really want to finish the season with a half-ironman.
Can anyone reccoment half IM events in the UK that would be suitable for a long-distance novice? I'm never going to be the best or the fastest on the course, but I give it my best every time.
Any training pointers for the half-ironman distance would also be appreciated.
Thank you!

Best thing though for first timers is there's only a 1 hour 20 minute time limit on the swim. As long as you can get out fo the water within that time then you've basically got the rest of the day to finish the bike and run legs.
