Hi Tony!!! First....Your hotel looks like is in a good area....if it's Kendal... Second...The area of the Race: The Transition Area/lake are located in the Larry& Penny T. Park next to the Metro Zoo Miami...nice area...the swim is in a crystal lake...if you are doing 1/2 Iron....You will have to do 2 laps...you go out of water and round a pole a go again to the water to do your 2nd lap.....then the Bike Course will be in the nursery/farm area of The Redlands....it's flat...the traffic will be controled for the Miami-Dade Police and MultiRace Staff....the roads are Ok....many smooth section and other ones rough....it's usually very windy...usually winds coming from NE...that means that you will have all kind of winds (tail/head/crosswinds) during your Bike Course....but....save your energy for the end cuz you will have the headwinds/crosswinds in your way back to Transition Area....Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! I hate the winds but I have learned to deal with them....this is my backyard....The winds last year were brutal.....Uffffffff!!! and if the weather continue like now...I think we will have strong winds this year....LOL Good Luck!!!Third...The run starts in the Larry&Penny T. Park...first paved trail...then dirty trail to the Metro Zoo Miami....then inside the MetroZoo you will run on paved trail along the animal shows...it's really fun...you will enjoy the view of all the animals....then again you run on dirty trail to pass again to the Larry&Penny T. Park...exactly to the Campsite area...there you will start to run again in paved trail till the finish line....now if you are doing 1/2 Iron you will have to do 2 laps....Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! |

Master 2073 The Redlands, FL | Subject: RE: Miami Man International Here is the Information about the Miami Man Orientation Bike Ride: Sunday's at 7:00 a.m. at the Race Site A big thanks goes out to Paul Kvedaras, President of the South Florida Triathletes for leading these Miami Man Orientations. If you are racing and have a chance, this is a great thing to attend and learn all about the race. Here's the scoop: Miami Man 1/2 and International Distance Orientations: Place: Larry and Penny Thompson Park Site # 2 Dates: Sunday October 26, 2008 & Sunday November 2, 2008 Time: 7:00am (Ride begins at 7:30 sharp for both distances) Courses: Handouts will be given to everyone for the swim, bike and run portions of both courses 7:15am: We'll walk to the lake and I'll give everyone an idea of the swim portion 7:30am: Instructions on riding together will be given and group ride will start. Both the International and the 1/2 IM will be riden. Pace will be around 17 miles an hour. This is an orientation ride not a training ride. All cyclist will need to bring all their drinks, food and tire repair kits. There will be one stop at Fruit and Spice Park for 5 minutes after about 30 miles (End of first loop). 11:00-11:15am: - Arrival back at Larry and Penny Thompson Park. 11:15am: - Short 2 or 3 mile run. All are welcome but if you ride please make sure you're capable of keeping up. No one will be left behind. This is a great way to learn the course and get comfortable with the area. |
