these are the latest IM distance events next year:
Ironman Wales (8th September)
Challenge Henley (8th September)
Hardman (15th September)
Horseman (15th September)
The Brutal (21st September)
but for your 1st, I really wouldn't entertain any of the last 3 unless you do have a good few screws loose!! they're at the more extreme end of the LD events
If I was doing the half outlaw in June but then had to take a month or so off proper training for holiday purposes, would it be realistic to come back and train enough to still be ready for Wales or Henley?
sj - the run at IMW is basically 4 times up and down a hill. surprisingly I didn't find it as bad as some others I've done and got my 2nd fastest IM run time there. the bike's a real bugger if you're a big fella like me - those constant hills just take it out of you.

Ironman Wales is meant to have a "hurrendous" cycle so that just leave challenge Henley.
Tough, but not horrendous, mate.
The run's the f**ker .
Oi !
Already booked in for Henley next year - but 2014 might be good for the Snowdon one. I see you need support crew for the last leg. I need sherpas !
What makes the run so bad? The Wales ironman does appear challenging but then i you're not going to find an IM that isn't.
I might be support at the brutal for a mate, looks "interesting"
