Miami tri! It was amazing... The course itself showcases one of the most beautiful skylines in the world. The swim is in Biscayne Bay and is an age group beach start....i was a little worried about swimming with the sharks but i just swam as fast as i could to get the hell out of there! The bike course takes place on the Rickenbacker Causeway and is two loops, making it a great spectator friendly event. The causeway is the oldest and largest bridge in Miami and is the only hill on the course, since its a 2 loop course it still makes 4 fairly tough hills! The run course is a two loop trail run which is also flat. It can get congested at times but that can be a problem with any course. After the race you are offered endless beer and an assortment of food. From my experience this was an excellent venue and a great way to start off the tri season. I recommend this to anyone who's looking for a fun race and an incredible time in the crazy city of Miami!
My splits were as follows:
swim-25:25 T1-2:19 bike-1:07:26 T2-:53 run-43:51
In total i finished at 2:19:55. I came 160th/1200 approx and 17/53 for my age group. I knocked off 12 minutes from my previous Olympic distance race so i am happy with the results!
