Belize breeze - 2010-07-12 11:18 AM HI,

Was it deep! I don't know why I am so nervous about the swim. I have pre-race jitters!


It is not deep, but will depend on where they set the buoys , prior years they've been close to shore (due to cold & fog , is my guess).

there is double sandbar that can make the water very shallow.

The water is clear 99% of time and seeing the "sand lines" that run parallel to the shore make it feel just like your local pool.

No worries I'm flipping out, too. And I'm especially not thrilled that I'm second to the last wave out I believe....that's not nice at all.

Trixie...unless you are a 35-39 male, you are actually with me, in the third to last wave (well, I guess second, if you count the males 35-39 as one, but it was broken up into two waves.)

Belize breeze - 2010-07-10 11:56 PM Thanks everyone for all the information on the race. I still have to get a hotel room. My bib#2002 my wave is 19 and starts at 8:20 am..

I can't believe there is only a week left.  

Ya....don't think there are any hotel rooms in the area left????

 

Just booked a room at the marriott for two nights at the tune of $418. Ouch.  It's the ONLY one I found after an hour search on the interwebs...

Wait....nope. Still a girl.   I'm with you???  THANK GOD I know someone....I'm afraid of water, ergo I'm flipping out. Knowing someone beforehand will be nice.
