It was almost one year ago. It was 100% total coincidence, I had a planned trip to Cancun the exact same weekend as Ironman Cozumel so, sunday i took the short ferry to the island. It was the first time I had ever experiences an Ironman Race as an spectator. I have to say that its an awesome experience, not as cool as competing but awesome in its own regards. I saw and cheered for my friend Oscar Galindez, Bree Wee, Eladio Quintero, Climido Rivero, Julio Spieguel and several other Panamanians that had made the short 2 and half hour flight to Cancun from Panama. Bree and Oscar had difficult days at Cozumel last year. I remember I kept thinking if I just say the right thing I will get them to go faster! I wish it was that easy. Cozumel is spectator friendly because competitors do 3 laps on the bike and run segments so there is a lot of interaction. Mexicans are awesome hosts, they are very loud and cheer for all competitor, but they are specially loud in cheering the locals. Needl
