Will be competing in Snowdonia marathon on sunday and am already feeling that afterwards I will be bored and demotivated. Think that an IM will offer me somewhat of a new challenge and was wondering what people think of IM france as a first timers event.
Cheers peeps

Sea swim, then up into the mountains with twisty roads, and then the run is along the prom there with the sun baking you.
Looks v pretty though and certainly a challenge.
Nice is good but is a toughie, got easier this year with the bike course change but to be honest both Nice and Switz hav ethe same amount of real climbing. The only difference was the heat. Nice was 40 deg and Switz was 35.
Take your pick ;-)
I've not really done any triathlon before. I used to swim competively so I'm alright on that front and running isn't too bad. How much do you reckon I would need to spend to put together the right cycling equipment? What sort of things do you find help cycling training
How about florida?
I guess, I just thought that I would probably need a bit of time to acclimatise in Florida or anywhere outside europe, but I guess it's a possibility. Many of you guys been outside europe to compete.
for many of us who did IMCH in 2005 - it was 30c+ - stifling heat but we managed OK
thos who did IMDE this year had similar heat but more humid and late thunderstorms early and late
Florida will I suspect be similar in heat but probably windier........amd enough of us fools are heading ther in 2008!!
all in package deals are not bad, but there is no choice - you take what you are given - so make sure the wetsuit fits, and the bike fits before you sign up.............
HJ - good choice IMCH - cracking event - but make sure you bike train on hills 'cos those Swiss hills hurt on Lap 3
