Florida is flat and this race is no exception, but Florida’s weather is predicatbly unpredicable. Although the day was sunny, there also were 3-4 foot swells in the ocean and a strong wind out of the south, which greatly affected the last segment of the bike. It was due to this unpredictable weather that I chose to sign up for the duathlon. (The race also included an aquabike and sprint and olympic tris.) Much of the bike ride is very scenic–either along beaches of Fort Lauderdale or in Hugh Birch State Park. The run portion of the races is all along the coast as well. The medal was up to multirace’s usual high standards, and the event was very well managed.
Beautiful start to the multisport season
