Wow! It's hot ... already. I can't imagine competing in a triathlon in this heat. But these guys make it
look easy. I'll post some of the photos as soon as I can get better internet connection.
So far, we haven't had much luck with the reception. It's about like dail-up, which makes it hard to upload photos and video. But we hope to have those kinks worked out later today. For a taste of what it's like, be sure and check out yesterday's blog reports from Ben Lockridge.
If you're planning on coming out today, you need two things: water and sunscreen. The mud has dried ... and I'm sure it will turn to the classic Neshoba County dust by afternoon.
