I was rather prolix this spring (here also) in describing the difficulty of the course at Ironman St. George. Word is that's changing. The ostensible reason is road construction; I believe it has more to do with the race's failure to fill up, a rarity for a branded event. The new run course will be flat and wind through town, apparently never more than 1.5 miles from the finish.
I say too bad. The run was a beast. When I rack the bike next Saturday I will have in my pocket the knowledge that I've run much harder than what I have in front of me. I wouldn't trade that for the world.
