Hello Guys! I'm Marcelo, from Mexico, I'm new in the team, just a couple of weeks ago; last year I did the Half Ironman in Cozumel, and this year I'm heading to the full thing. You will be swimming in on of the best places to swim in the world; before the start there's a dolphin show to say hi to all the athletes. The entire town is cheering all day long, I thing they're ironman too. The bike is amazing, you start in the jungle and then it changes to the crystal beach view, awesome! just be careful with the wind and the heat!
Well I can help you with questions about cozumel, how to get there, what to do and not to do, and I hope I can help you!
Adios Amigos!
Hi everyone!
My name is Meredith and my husband and I (along with our two dogs) are training for IM Cozumel. This is the first IM for both of us and we're really excited. We're from Colorado Springs, CO and hope our high-altitude training counteracts the heat and humidity. I look forward to chatting with you all about the race!
Marcelo - no dolphin show for athletes anymore. When they moved the swim north last year for the full, that ended that. Maybe they still do it for the families, but the athletes can't see it. You set up your bike and now catch the bus to the start and swim back south on the coast.
I'm doing IMCoz as part of the IMXC program to end my "Year of Massive training". My wife and kids have had enough with this insanity so who knows what it'll look like going forward after this yr... So I figured I'd end the yr with a bang and signed up for COZ... Can't wait to meet you all!
Yes Paul, we are going to miss the dolphin show
(amazing show), but the good news with the change is that we will have a better and faster swim course, so we can set PR's!!
Remember the heat and huimidity are sons of b...
try to train with a lot in the heat.
See you there!!
Where is everyone staying? I went to the event sheet to see who was signed up / where they were staying and noticed that it was blank... EN Event Sheet Link
Just now trying to get back on a training schedule after IMMT... my focus is wandering :-)
Last year I stayed in "El cozumeleño" it's a great place to stay, also a host hotel; the food is great, and you could have the transportation to T1, It's a little far from there but the taxi fee will be like 10 usd.

My wife and I will be at the Intercon also, till our kids get us kicked out....
This is going to be my first IM, I have done 4 HIM, so I hope to have a good race.
I am from Barranquilla, Colombia, I do not know anyone from EN in person, I hope to meet some of you in Cozumel. I can also be the official translator.
