  • Comments: First massage after a race of this length. Had active release on several areas. Thought I would scream at how much pain the masseuse was causing. But the next day I had 0 pain and actually could have done recovery run. Will do again in the future.

  • Comments: I was very disappointed that the swim was cancelled. I trained very hard in the pool 3 mornings a week. I am a good swimmer so this did not work out in my favor. I had the fitness to break 5 hours so I am still bummed out about it. This race is a pain in the rear end. I hate starting and finishing in a different location, especially for your family that are there to support you. Packet pickup and bike drop off is a pain, but it is what it is. Volunteers were amazing!!! They were very helpful and extremely friendly. The Aid stations on the run were great, the volunteers were friendly and prepared as we went through their stations. I made sure to thank them as often as I could. With all that being said I will still do this race again next year, basically its in my backyard so that makes it hard to pass up.

  • Comments: I thought it was a great race. The organization did the best job of any tri I've been apart of, and I couldn't believe how the bike route was blocked off.

  • Comments: I would love to do the race if I lived closer, but had to travel 1800 miles to race here. The finish is great in the French quarter, but parking and the long walk back to get cars is terrible!

  • Comments: I probably wouldn't do it again due to the swim course. I'll reconsider if they change to a different lake.
