The Heart of Dixie Tri was a point to point Olympic Tri with a 1/2 mile swim in Lake Tiak-O'Khata, followed by a rolling 27.5 mile bike and a 7 mile run ending at Neshoba County Fairgrounds.  Finish Strong Racing athletes Ronnie Delzer, Michael Menster, and Dana Lyons each put in a good race effort.
