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.
