The team rented a van and drove 17 hours overnight to the collegiate nationals race in Gulfport, Mississippi. This was another great experience for the team, with an ocean swim, low elevation, a flat bike, and flat run. Similar to Miami, the Olympic race has almost 1,000 entrants split among multiple waves. NMSU Triathlon Club had five representatives at the race: four athletes and one team photographer.
