Link to IMUK website since wigsley couldnt be ar$ed
http://eu.ironman.com/triathlon/events/emea/ironman/uk.aspx#axzz388Sv5KMm
new bike course was better than previous years, more scenic than the old one, only ~5 mins quicker, still quite tough

Did anyone else think it was a bit odd that you didn't have the option to buy tickets for the awards ceremony like most other IM races?
