I'm a smaller rider 5'7"135lbs. Buying new wheels strictly for Ironman St. George and Ironman Boulder. Both hilly courses. I need help deciding between wheels:
1) Zipp 808
2) New Bontrager Aeolus xxx6 front and the Bontrager 9 TLR
3) New Bontrager Aeulus xxx6 front and back

Xxx6 front and xxx6 rear would be my recommendation. The new xxx wheels are really stable in high winds. They are also very fast and have a much much better braking surface then the older 5,7,9 TLR bontrager wheels.
