Hey Guys,

There is a chance I'll be moving down that way either later this year or early next year. And I'm curious how the training is? I'm sure the weather makes it great but are there good roads you can use for long rides without encountering tons of traffic and traffic lights? I'm sure OWS options are in abundance but how about good indoor lap pools? How about the tri community?

Thanks for your help. I was down there this past weekend and man was the weather nice.

Chris:  although I live in the Tampa Bay area, I oftern travel to Miami on biz, that said, go to the Key Biscayne area and you will find yourself amongst your own.  There will be no shortage of triathletes there.

Good luck and welcome to the Sunshine state.  Ah, remember to carry sun block! and planty of water.  There's also MIT on March (18??)  that's the equivalent to St Anthony's on St. Pete

Hey Chris...south florida is full of triathletes and we have a few triathlon teams. There are tons of races a year and all very well organized. If you plan on living in miami beach, your best option for riding with minimal interruptions is key biscayne which is miami's triathlete capital, and where many triathletes train and compete as well since a large majority of the races are located there. As far as swimming pools, im sure there will be plenty around since there's a fitness center everywhere you turn especially miami beach. Well good luck and see ya in a race someday!
