  • Comments: This is a great race series. Love it. Bare bones, no awards just a little food and drink at the end of the race. But I don't go to a race for a medal or a meal, I go to race and enjoy the competition. It is a great location for a race. This was my very first race I participated in 4 years ago so I have wanted to come back and do it again to compare. 2007 = 1:05.30 2011 = 56.51

  • Comments: Started running last year after 10 or so years of too much couch time. Saw in the newspaper that this race was going to happen in August last year. Wife and I went to the race to watch. First tri to ever watch. I told her excitedly that I was going to start doing tris. At the time I was weighing nearly 240 lbs.(6 feet tall) Almost a year later, I have finally completed my first open water tri. Also down to 196 lbs. on race day. Still a ways to go, but a great feeling to actually "race" instead of "survive" an event.

  • Comments: Lake Charles Triathletes put on a good race that can no longer be described as "bare bones." Chip timed (a first-time test run by the timing company), good food after and plenty of doorprizes, even though I didn't win one.

  • Comments: Despite my performance, for a low-key, low-budget race this was run well. Put on by the Lake Charles Triathlon Club, you could tell these guys know first-hand what they want out of a race. Good venue, well-marked and -staffed course, hand-timed but they even broke out the transition times. This was the third in their annual series of races, I will definitely try to do more of these next year.
