    What did you chose after all? I was in IM Austria this year, going to Frankfurt next year.

    Let me know if you need some advice re accomodation/travel in Austria, if you did chose this one.

    Hey folks thanks for replys, I chose Frankfurt and very happy i did, swim is meant to be nice and open, cycle reasonably flat with a lovely city marathon,

    Excellent choice. I just did Frankfurt 2 weeks ago and it was incredible. the swim location is fantastic - not open though! Never is with 2700 other people. The bike route is fair but tends to be windy up on the plateau and the Marathon is pancake flat apart from the bridges over the River and teh support is absolutely incredible. organisation is perfection. You'll love it. Wish I was doing it again.
    Check my race report for a flavour.

    Thanks Jeff, I am really enjoying training, I have IM 70.3 in Galway in September and Just cant wait now. I really like the idea of the city marathon run at the end. Love the blog
