Hi All,
I know it's barely 2013 but I am hoping that in 2014 if i save wisely and consider entry times and cut-offs, i can afford to do one overseas event (given that i live in Australia and travel is $$$) .. either a half or full IM.
So that said, I was hoping to get some opinions on which races you, the selected audience, might recommend for a one-off experience (yes yes, of course Kona would be great but unless there's some miracle of qualification, let's be realistic for the moment) and somewhere that would be a good spot for a week or so holiday as well. I'm well travelled generally but haven't been to the US other than airport transfers, or South America at all so i'm leaning that way but i'd love some feedback on events you might have done and would recommend, or not, and why. (Somewhere safe for a SWF to travel would be a high priority, not too pricy if that's at all possible :P)
Cheers :)
