Yeah. I did this race in 2005. Like Noz said, hills, hills, hills...
The bike is moderately rolling, nothing killer. The swim is short (1000) in waist deep water through seaweed. The run will kill an average man. There are a couple of hills that are straght up. And I mean STRAIGHT up. Better train to run hills if you're considering whaletown.

I'm strongly considering it! The seaweed swim doesn't sound too fun though :P
