Welcome to the eigth annual Eunice Rotary Zydeco Triathlon
Once again, fantastic Door Prizes
This will be the same great race as in the past years. The swimming pool swim and distances make this race great for beginners, but, experienced triathletes have also loved this race in the past years simply because it is so fun - long enough to get in a good workout and race hard and then enjoy the great food and race atmosphere that is always found out on the Cajun Prairie!! So if this is your first triathlon come out and have fun knowing that there is no pressure. If you are an experienced triathlete, bring a friend with you, someone who has always wanted "to do one," but was not sure about the open water swim or longer distances. Everyone will have fun, I gaurantee.
The Course
The swim start will be inside in the LSU-E natatorium. Waves will be individual starts every 10 seconds. You will swim 6 lengths of a 25 meter pool. Transition to the parking lot where you will head South down well paved Johnson HWY for 5 miles turn around and return on the same route. You will finish with an easy jog around LSU-E campus. There will be one water/gatorade station on the run course.
After the race there will be plenty of food and refreshments for the whole family.
