what did you like/dislike about it? How would you compare it to the NA Ironmans?
This is the inaugural year for it and the course (bar lake swim) is all new. So you’re not likely to get much on how it compares to NA ironmans.
However if you’re a middle of “packer” who just loves paying loads of money for getting smacked about in the swim, riding in a peloton on the bike and a “rolling” terrain run like most NA M-dot IM’s then knock yourself out and enter… 
OH … i thought last year was the first one! Sorry!
