The humid air crackled with anticipation as the horn blasted. Triathletes, lean and sinewy, exploded off the dock in a churn of neon swim caps against Miami's glittering waters. Among them glided the young stars of Mexico's squad, the tri-colored flag rippling on their backs, hearts pounding with a nation's hopes. This wasn't just the Americas Championship. This was a crucible – a stage to prove themselves before the watching world.
