I'm curious, just as the Boston Marathon is well known for "heartbreak hill"...

Are there any M-dot branded Ironman distance events that are well known for anything? Either be it course sepcefic (bike portion, run portion, swim portion), or unspecific (scenic, volunteer support, crowd support, ect...).

Inquiring minds would like to know!
