My wife is planning on doing the Eagleman, I haven't decided whether I am or if I will be her support. We just did the Delta State tri in Cleveland, MS. Flat roads for bike and run and indoor swim. The wind was BAD! 25mph from the SE. It's not USAT, they do it to raise money for the swim/dive team, but much fun.

I know the race director Ben - It will be a good race.

I was riding out where the race will take place and the bike should be fast with some light rolling hills. This is going to be a new subdivision west of town so the road is fresh asphalt. A really nice ride. I encourage you to do the race. It will be fun.

My wife and I graduated from USM and lived there for several years. We thought this would be a good reason to come down, do the tri and visit friends. It sounds like a fun race, so you may see us there.

My husband and I will be doing this race also.  He is from the area and we are moving to Hattiesburg next summer. We thought it would be a great into into the tri-community.  I am looking forward to it.

Negative.  I'll be in Starkville doing some anti-training while Vandy trounces the Bulldogs.

The race was great, well organized especially since they set it up in 2 months. My wife got 3rd in the Athena's category. Me, I was there for pics and support, but I think I will have to participate next year.
