Lanza = wind, hills, heat Nice = alpine climb, heat. Wind is not usual (although possible).
Bolton = wind, hills, rain, crappy roads, cold, people with no teeth.
Bolton is (was) the hardest Ironman in the world.

I just googled. Malaysia seems up there. Don't think I know anyone who's done it. Unless Juder did back in the day?

Tenby = Lanza, approx Both were harder than the 'old' Bolton (my 2013, 2015 editions), but easier than the 2023 Bolton on a v different bike course. We both know that one day Ironman will bow to the inevitable and run an Ironman out of Dorney. On a Wednesday night, at the wrong end of the lake....
