Anyone done this race or know of anyone that did it? I don't see any race reports for them here (probably cause 05 was their first time and only 750 got in).

I like the idea that you actually swim from a small island off the coast to the mainland. Here's the site. www.miamitri.com

This is the Escape to Miami tri. I did it and have a race report. It was a well run race for the inaugural one. It was a tough swim with lots of current, a hard bike with 2 loops and 2 intercoastal bridges, and an extremely hot run along one of the causeways. Lots of people were walking on the run due to the heat. The water stops weren't very good, about a mile between each and some were more.

Thanks Bob - sounds like I would probably need to acclimate for this.

Good going on your race, sounds like a real doozy.

There are a lot of great races in the South Florida area. Hope to see you down here for one.

Also a nice race in FL is the Health First Olympic usually held in mid Oct up the coast in Melbourne FL. Lots of bridges for the bike and run like E.T.M (http://www.healthfirsttri.com/maps/)

I was looking at the E.T.M race but it was too close to the race above.
