Ha. It was the lack of accommodation (I didn't have anything booked) that was bugging me too, until I checked a few websites just now and found what's probably someone's cancelled room.
Would really like to be there but for me cash and lack of town centre accommodation means its a no go
£255 gets you the other bed in my twin room right on the North Beach in Tenby (Fourcroft Hotel). Booking is 3 nights (Friday - Monday) assuming I haven't been fleeced or double booked by hotels.com
I will also be driving from SW15 on Friday morning and driving back Monday morning so could possibly combine that too since you're sort of on the way (if I guess where you are correctly).

I would usually say you've made the right decision as starting a race without your heart being in it is a sure fire way to DNF, but you've shown yourself to be a tough old bastard (no idea if you are actually even older than me, just a turn of phrase) and if you want to do something you will, yes it's not that sexy to finish once it gets dark but finishing an ironman is still finishing an ironman, presumably you've already paid out for accommodation and the race so its just a case of turning up and doing it, plus energy gel/petrol costs.
Add to that the support for the run will get you through pretty much anything, so while it may not be pretty, if you make the bike cut off which I'm confident you would then you've got 6.5 hours to run/walk the thing...
Would really like to be there but for me cash and lack of town centre accommodation means its a no go, will probably try for Austria or Roth next year assuming cash allows.
