It took us around 50 minutes to get to South Beach...and...what got our attention was the heavy traffic of people leaving after a rough night partying on the Discos...Wuaoooo...!!!!
Parked car and took our bikes, bags and coolers and went directly to the Race Area to get our timing chips and to Transition to get a good spot in our rack area...

Took swimming cap, googles and wax ear-plugs and headed to the Swim Area...It was a long walk/jog to the Swim Sart...but...nice warm-up before jumped into the water...
It was a gorgeous morning...the Hurricane Earl left behind a nice present for us...a flat Ocean...the water was crystal...amazing...It was a little breezy but very nice...
