Subject: RE: what are things I would need to consider for IM Los Cabos Well since it is a first time race there isn't any scouting report out there. Cabo San Lucas is a great place and should be a great place to celebrate afterwards. Cabo Wabo (Van Halen/Sammy Haggar's club ) is pretty cool, and my favorite was the Giggling Marlin.
Far as the race goes even low 70s can be a shock to the system if your body is used to the 30-40s. Try the get down their a bit early to acclimate. The salt water swim is no problem and actually tends to be faster (since your are more bouyant ) if you aren't a strong swimmer, just remember to shower off or the salt residue can chaff.
Also make sure you figure out how you are going to pack and ship and reassemble your bike. I love using Tribike Transport since they are right there at transition before and after the race and your bike stays intact. Don't know if they are serving Los Cabos though. If you have to ship or bike box it just be prepared to put it together yourself as there is limited bike shops and support.
Should be fun, can't wait for the RR next year! |
