You can't find an IM that is good for first timers. What you can find is an IM that fits what you want in a race.

What you do is you sit down and look at the race reports from IM's that you would even consider. Usually location helps you pick out what you will even consider.

Then you decide, do you want hills? Do you want cold? Do you want heat? etc.

List the pro's/con's of each race and pick out your perfect race.
