I'm planning on being there for the clinic and the practice swim. I'll probably be the oldest beginner there.

We've officially hit the 300 participant mark for early registration. Last year we had 180 racers. This is by far the biggest SUTS ever.

Well my first is behind me. Had of lots of fun. My wife finished too. She was concerned because she has not been able to train much. She did great. I'm very proud of her.

I was really surprised by the number of participants. Y'all did a great job. Thanks to everyone who put the race together.

Congrats on the first! We were shocked with how many people signed up. There were 180 last year, and we were hoping for 250 this year. Well, we ended up with 400. There were some hiccups as a result, but it's a good problem to have. Thanks for coming out!

I'll definitely do that. And sorry about the way the results ended up coming out. Atomic told me that they had everything they needed and we were good to go. I honestly don't know if it was on their end or something I didn't give them that messed it up, but it definitely made us look bad when the age group awards weren't correct.

Thanks again for coming out. It was the largest SUTS ever, and all the members of our club had a blast working it.

Sesh, you guys did a GREAT job... it was my first tri as well, I got a ribbon for 3rd in my AG, not sure if that's true or not, but it hardly matters as I finished the race well and had a superb time!!

Kudo's for Mississippi heat!
