  • Comments: I was still able to hit my goal of 1:25, but I know I could have been under 1:20 if I had been trained up and not made the mistakes on the swim.

  • Comments: AMAZING race by start2finish events here in the mid-south. It is crazy how organized this company are. LOVE the instant results tent with plasma displays, touch screen terminals to print your race times out on. Good t-shirt, pint glass and poster!! Gave chips out at pre-registration the night before. All I had to do was get my body markings.

  • Comments: This is a GREAT beginner race...its a big race atomosphere, but cozy enough that beginners feel good. I would highly recommend this race to a newbie. I also cannot rave enough about the venue...its was just amazing...and the volunteers were fantastic. Lots of support from fans...and I was there by myself...so that helped me. Definitely worth signing up for...I know I will. Maybe for the amateur challenge!

  • Comments: This is a great course for someone like me who hates hills. It doesn't get much flatter than this! I also like the time trial start. The race organizers do a good job and it was on time, course was well marked with good volunteer support. There are some venue issues. Really hated that all that was around was casinos and fast food or casino restaurants with smoking. We will definitely bring all our own food next year. Had to drive 10 miles into town to get groceries at the Piggly Wiggly in Tunica. The hotel itself was nice with a pleasant pool area, just lacking in food options. There were also a lot of road closure issues around Harrah's from the time we arrived late Friday afternoon. we had to deal with driving around barricades just to get to our hotel parking lot all weekend which got old. I appreciate it during the race but thought it was crazy to have entrances to the host hotel blocked the whole weekend. Overall a great weekend of racing (my husband did the Oly on Sunday) and a

  • Comments: This is a really beginner friendly race. Tunica is a great venue. The lake is only 6ft deep which is a blessing for those of us with limited OW experience. The bike course is flat and fast and there is a lot of support from local police guiding traffic and making the course very safe. I will be back next year for sure
