Oxbow Triathlon - 4/2/11

The Oxbow Triathlon was held on the shores of False River in New Roads, LA on Saturday, April 2nd, 2011. The race was a sprint distance triathlon consisting of a 1/2mi. swim, 18mi. bike and 5k run.  This was the opening race to my 2011 season and somewhat of a "tune-up" race for the Ironman Texas 70.3 that would be a few weeks later.
