Okay, so this is the beach outside my hotel - Las Tortugas
where I do my two km swim every morning after running 6-10k along trhe packed sand beach, then I have coffee, fruit and tostadas outside under the palm trees.

Arruived last Friday and am here for two weeks of winter tri training -
- that´s swim, run, and cervezas.
No bike, because there are no roads, no cars, only golf carts
and boats.

here´s a link to a BIG picture:

more later, gotta swim now,

Geoff

Great, make me feel even colder now. I'm dreading going outside because right now it's -6 with a wind chill of -21.

You suck, enjoy your time there...

Thanks guys,
I am thinking of you :) as I hoist my Tecate in my hammock.

I had a great swim today.
Weather was just like in the brochures.
My lap pool is 4 feet deep 25 metres wide between the sandbars, and 22kms long!

Going out for lobster pasta and shrimp ceviche.

hasta luego amigos,

Geoff

+1. I think this thread should be locked, or at least come with a warning.

This thread is just brutal, just seeing that picture makes me feel cold. 8-0

Oh how I wish I was there enjoying a cold beer with you.

Today it was -8 when I went to work, not sure if we made it to a high of 5 or not. The low tonight is supposed to be -15.

Enjoy it while it lasts...

Krazy - I used the first Corona pic I could find 'cos I was renting the 'puter for 5 pesos per half hour and I wanted to get back to the lagoon!

For future reference:

Air Fare return YVR to Cancun = $97 plus taxes
Room on the beach for two, per night, breakfast included = $70

Shrimp Ceviche @ Villa Mar, table on the beach, white sand between your toes = $9

icy cold Cervezas from Fausto's cold beer store = $1

Turquoise, water, 90 F, lapping at the shore = priceless

I'm taking names for next year's Trifuel winter training camp,
drop me a line if you want to come.

:D
