Gatorbait Endurance Challenge @ Eagle Lake MS

I wanted to put a plug in about the Gatorbait Triathlon/Endurance Challenge.  There is going to be a Duathlon added this year also, so if you have friends that are not triathletes but like to run and ride we would love to have them.  Some local Vicksburg Athletes trained on the course this weekend and it was nice.  The water was as flat as I have ever seen it and the lake just looked beautiful overall.  The link below is to the Vicksburg Swim Association where details about the triathlon are.  You can follow the link to ImAthlete to sign up.  Also I am going to try to get in touch with some of the Lodges at Eagle Lake and post information up if anyone is interested in staying up there.  I know Tara Wildlife is having a The MS River Nature Weekend the same weekend which will include a huge bird roosting veiwing (I was told there would be over 3000 birds viewed during the roost).  I know they own a couple different lodges (Tara and Halpino) and offer rooms but I do not know what the rates are.  Anyhow Tara is only a few miles away from transition.
