Bahamas Training Update

Triathlon Forum
1

For future reference for any of you planning to train while on vacation or business in the Bahamas. I’d give it about a D+ at best.

SWIM: Ocean is so warm it is nauseating. But the Westin/Sheraton have good swim buoys setup and I’d say it is relatively safe. Watch for drunken jet skiers.

BIKE: Flat as a pancake. Saw one dude on a QR TT bike the other morning. No idea how anyone trains on a bike here with the narrow roads and traffic.

RUN: Pretty safe. Get used to running on the Right side of the road (to go against the traffic). Most drivers are courteous.

Can’t wait to get back to Utah tomorrow and resume some real training.

LOL! D+

I’d give a C-

No way I’d ride a bike anywhere down there. Running wasn’t even all that fun on Paradise Island (I frequent the Atlantis for a conference) with the traffic everywhere with some left drive cars and some right drive cars. Swimming was nice with crystal clear water, but not much to look at underneath compared with, say, Hawaii.
