Ironman Wales is
supposed to be the toughest event on the European circuit and it certainly
lived up to its reputation. The sea was rough with waves picking swimmers
up and tossing them onto other swimmers. I heard that 51 abandoned after
the swim, and one elite female swimmer had to hold onto the support canoe
until the course had cleared. On top of all the Atlantic Ocean could throw
at us, the route to transition is up to the top of the cliffs followed by
1km run through Tenby town centre carrying wet suits. My wife described
this as ridiculous - but she thinks the whole Ironman event is ridiculous!
