    that should be an intersitng race. more downhill than up hill ( typicaly with some headwind into marrakesh ) logistiacaly a bit challenging ( at the same time a scenic drive to race start)
    roads are better than ireland ...
    i was rather surprised that the race is sold out. ( i dont know how many entries there is but still i was surpirsed )

    that should be fun if you stay at least a week.

    this would be a race i would look at .i trying to motivate myslef to go to kona but that race inspires me by far more, i could not think off a better place to do an ironman.
    its a lot of hassle to get there but flights are surpisngly cheap.
