Any suggestions? I am doing Windsor OD and also would like to do my first MD. Anybody done Cowman or Little Woody? Also contemplating Ironman 70.3 Germany? Suggestions welcome ...

Looking forward to it. It's almost full I think, so you might want to hurry.
One event I'd suggest you avoid is the Gatorade Big Half at Trentham, Stoke on Trent. That was my first HIM, and it was let down by a dangerous bike course in Sunday traffic and piss poor aid stations. Only got water in an event sponsored by Gatorade. Sounds like you weren't considering this anyway, but if anyone else is, give it a wide berth.
Big/Little Woody is a local event for me and I have to say, I've only ever heard bad things about it, but having never done the event it would be unfair of me pass judgement, I can only go on what club mates have said.
It just so happens I was looking at events last night, and there is an abundance of 70.3's to consider:
May 22nd, West Cornwall Middle Distance
June 14th, Bala Middle
June 20th, Wimbleball
July 4th, Cowman
August 28th, The Little Woody
September 4th, Vitruvian
September 19th, New Forest Middle
September 11th, The Accelerace Extreme Triathlon
September 26th, Bustinskin Middle Distance
Please feel free to add to the list or gives comments regarding the events...
Thanks.
