Life Time Tri - South Beach - Another season has officially kicked off and another race is in the books.

I always love Miami because of its flare and energy. It's a great time to get away from winter and feel the warmth of the sun again.

I love this race because it's a great way to get back at it after the off season and helps you figure out where you are in your training.

We had great conditions. It was overcast and cool. So overcast that the race started about 15-20 minutes late due to such little sunlight over the ocean. The day before it had been over 90 degrees so this cloudy cool day was very welcomed....

The ocean was calm. With just very subtle swells. Another welcomed event as the ocean usually gives us some good waves come race day.  READ MORE

ED. FYI, Jess placed 4th overall / 3rd amateur / 2nd 30-34W. The women's race was won by two-time Brazilian Olympian Carla Moreno, who now resides in Clermont, Florida. Way to go, Jess!
