  • Comments: this race explains how frustrating this 2008 racing season was. I just never was able to get into good racing shape due to my leg injury and it made for a frustrating year. Oh well, time to relax, recover, heal and focus on coming back stronger than ever next year... I WILL :)

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: If you want a fun heat challenged race, I would recommend it.I rated it hard because the heat was overwhelming. Most athletes I talked to had their worst race times and walked most of the run.There are almost no spectators so be prepared to be self motivated. The best is post race at the swim up bar with fellow athletes in scenic Cancun. The host hotel is very nice but expensive due to extra fees and food expenses. I had a good experience and was able to mentally force myself to perform through the heat. For a first 70.3 however,....try something a bit cooler.

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Great volunteers, well stocked and numerous aid stations. Chip seal road (ugh), no bathrooms on the run (!). I wouldn't do this race again, simply because I can't train for the climate, but for those who are acclimated to heat and humidity it's a pretty well run race.
