Eagle Man : Official Thread

It is a challenging course – nothing too major – this is after all Southern Mississippi but they are some of the biggest rolling hills around. It is a very good bike course – I ride it all of the time.

I'll be there! My friend and I will both be doing this race and it's our first. I'm a little scared of the hills but I feel much better about my swimming. Could anyone who did it last year offer more input and descriptions?

I'm so nervous!!

I did it last year, I thought it was an easy, fun course. The big hill I remember is leaving out of transition, it was a downhill, then up again.There are a handfull of hills that are tough, but I have been to some that were really hard. I would definatly put in some hill training before doing any of the tri's., Just to be prepared for anything. I saw a few standing to climb some of the hills. I will be there again this year.
It's a race I reccomend doing at least once.

I wont be racing but will be watching may volunteer.

I saw today that the race is sold out. There is a 90% chance of rain. But I will be there ready to race, Should be fun. See ya'll there!!

I have been running in the rain here so it will be familiar. LOL

I will be the slow guy with the GNO Tri shirt

 

I went to watch just to get a feel and see what to do when i enter my first race. It rained on and off the entire race. It was a very nice race. I will be there for the next one.

What an AMAZING day!  I was very skeptical before the swim about competing in my first tri in the rain, but it went well!  Thanks to Ben and everyone else for making this happen!

I was my 1st race as well and had a great time. The hills were a bit more challenging but fun at the same time.

I will be there next year!!!!
