Did it once and will never be back despite only living 2.5 hours from the race site.  Read a lot of the feedback on ST or here.  It's generally very unfavorable.  I've done dozens of triathlons and probably 15-20 WTC/Ironman events and it was easily the worst of the IM branded races I have done.  The bike course, more specifically the quality of the roads, is just terrible.
