If staying in Cancum or Playa del Carmen- will transportation back to the hotel in the later evening after finishing be difficult?
FYI, the ferry take a full hour, i'm pretty sure the first one is at 5:30 or 6:00am... so there is no way you could be at the transition before it close (6:30am if memory serve)
Also, need to be on the Island to pick up you Bib on Friday and drop your bike your bike on Saturday. So i don't think it's possible / realistic to stay on the mainland between Friday morning and Monday morning (maybe Sunday if you know you will finish early, you have sherpas and you are not looking for a Kona spot)
I was actually surprise how many time i had to take a cab to do something race related, even if i was at a walking distance from T1.
As far as i could tell, Cozumel is the place to be for divers... not so much for anything else. So could be an idea to move to the mainland after the race.
My advices, be on the island on Thursday, depending where you fly from you their may not be any option to be there on Friday and have a reasonable chance of picking up your bib... let alone giving your self some margin if ever your bike take a different airplane than you. Also don't do anything that is no race related before the actual race... unnecessary distraction.
