A lifetime of choices for your racing pleasures:
IM France in Nice -- the blue water & skies, the views, the mountains, the food, and more. Post race vacation on the beach, in the restaurants, in Monaco, and beyond. Awesome.
IM South Africa -- the beaches on different sides of the bike course, rolling hills, quaint town. No disappointments in this race selection.Post race vacation on a nearby safari. Drive the Garden Road to Cape Town. Arguably the prettiest setting for a city in the world. Explore the Cape of Good Hope to the south, the wineries to the north, and two great oceans on either side. Visit Robbins Island and the townships for a reality check of how great freedom is to experience.
IM Mont Tremblant -- beautiful setting for swim, bike, and run. Hills. Great accommodations. Visit Montreal post race. Great food, scenery, and entertainment and more.
IM New Zealand -- beautiful setting for swim, bike, and run. Visit both main islands post race. Packed with more variation of natural beauty in a smaller country than just about anywhere. My wife said about the views: "They just keep coming...".
IM Norway -- Safe swim course. Great bike with continual rollers on closed course highway. Superior fan support. Run along the waterfront. Head up north to Bergan to launch multiple visits into the fiords and beyond.
Go before you miss out on these and others. You already missed IM Coeur d' Alene and the original
Ironman OZ. Catch the CDA 70.3 or any other Ironman in OZ for great settings in or nearby great vacation destinations.
The people are great everywhere. And good to great food can be found in any of these areas too.
