What you should know
- Bike check-in is the day before; rack bikes and drop blue/red gear bags at T1/T2 per IRONMAN procedures.
- Cozumel water often runs ~28°C and is usually wetsuit-illegal — plan for a non-wetsuit swim with strong current.
- Body marking, chip pickup, and the mandatory athlete briefing happen at the expo — bring ID and confirmation.
- Three-loop bike course is exposed and very windy on the windward side; drafting is strictly enforced by moto refs.
- Heat and humidity are extreme — hit every aid station, take salt, and respect the 17-hour and intermediate cutoffs.
