The roads were horrible, I was so scared I'd flat from hitting a pot hole. The roads were also wet from the rain. Lots of hills worked me hard.

I did enjoy riding by Lake Ponchartrain.
What would you do differently?:

Totally was unprepared for the hills.

Loved reading your race report. I so wanted to do this tri but had to work. Great job on racing and dealing with the weather. I would have hated having to deal with the rain but I would have done it too.

I hope to do the spring one also. I want the pink glitter headband- lol.

Thanks for sharing,

Shelly

P.S. your profile pic is beautiful

Thank you so much for the compliment! I enjoyed this race despite the rain and I admit I was sold when they said you get a pink glitter headband.Laughing

I just wish the road were in better condition.
