Yeap...I'm in too again....  

Wuaoooo...It will be my 4th time racing the Nautica and 2nd time racing the Olympic....last year was a blast...BTW...got Podium...4th place in AG....Yahoooo...!!!

See ya there and Good Luck...!!!!

9 days to go! I can't wait I am pretty pumped for this race.  I have been wanting to do a MIami tri for 2 years and will be moving from Florida so this was my last chance.

Olympic 200+ clydesdale

 watched the 2009 video last night, looks to be a very fast bike, but the swim looks like you go against the current the whole way?

I am also looking forward to it! it has always been one of my favorite ;-)

Last year the swim was very choppy and with lots of jelly fish!!! yikes! hopefully this year it will be calmer. The run course is awesome!!

See you all there!

hopefully the swag bag is decent, from a race report I read it was too promising.  I do this for the swag and shirt...

no wetsuit for me

weather channel shows 20% rain (its florida so thats normal) nice weather.

anyone have a know on the wind and current down there right now?

Hey Guys...

For all of you concerned about water temp. Check here:

As I mentioned before...We have been in the limit...78oF....

I don't think it will be wet-suit legal....

See ya on Sunday...and...Good Luck...!!!

YES! Race weekend is here! Saw the local weather report and they're reporting Sunday to be "breezy" Should be fun!

Best of Luck everyone!!!!

Another beautiful day down in Miami. Picked up packet and i'm #304. Heard the water temp is around 78-79 degrees and it might hit 80 by the morning. So i doubt it's wetsuit legal. I rode this morning and there was zero wind! Hope it's like that tomorrow morning. Water looked calm and fast!

See you all in transition! Time to carb load!

good race, more people then last year.  classic distance had a late start i felt like, much later then last year, and the course was packed.  next year doing the olympic.

rr is up. 

My wife said the Classic didn't start until almost 7:55 by her watch and my buddy was doing it in the first wave which was supposed to be at 7:40.  I guess they made everyone go to a prerace meeting and then walk back to start so that delayed a lot of it.  Then heard there was a pro at the prereace meeting they were waiting for.

last year i think the race started at 7:20, here most of the olympic racers were done with the race by the time the classic distance started.
