    You'll have eh, a "challenge" doing Henley next year...it is moving to a to-be-announced new location.

    Wales sounds like a seriously tough course - wherever the Challenge race ends up, it is likely to be a more benign environment...

    Wales is supposed to have a great swim, but one of the tougher bike courses.

    Long run from swim up to T1 too
    Run I think is a 3 x loop of the town, lumpy and it wasn't short this year as it was in 2012

    Did I hear that there's a new IM event for the UK in 2014 too? Or is Henley being bought by IM?
