I read in the Morning World newspaper where the Monroe Race for the Cure 5km
was held last weekend in northeast Louisiana and drew a field of more than
3,000 runners and walkers. Does anyone know when the Shreveport, Houma or Thibodaux Race
for the Cure events will be held?
Plans for the Baton Rouge Beach Marathon are well underway. Stay tuned for
details. Also, Rusty Ex is recovering just enough from a successful
CajunMan Triathlon to get ready for the Lafayette Half Marathon on the first
weekend in December. Details are available at lafayettefitness.org.
Club South Runners based in Baton Rouge announced its Octoberfest 3 Miler
for Oct. 4 at 5:30 p.m. at Mockler Beverage headquarters off I-10 via Siegen
Lane and Industriplex in the capital city area.
I am still looking for 2004 fitness dates as the annual printed edition of
the Louisiana Multisport Report comes together. Don't forget to keep me
updated on any physical address changes so you can get the magazine free as
it's been U.S. mailed for the past 10 years to everyone who's indicated an
interest in getting it.
Three cheers to Jon Anderson for his Pedal Play Poker Run bike tour for
raising thousands of dollars to continue honoring two Baton Rouge cyclists
slain on the River Road just south of Baton Rouge on June 11, 2002. His fund
raising continues to honor the late Steve Seiden and Tim Cappo who were
tragically killed while riding.

Three cheers also to all the Team Earthquake guys and gals who've raised thousands of dollars to help world-class
multisporter Donnie Jarrell fight Lou Gehrig's disease. The Team
Earthquakers based on the Northshore turned out en masse for the Poker Run
bike tour in the Felicianas to ride about 103 miles on Saturday, then turned right around
headed home and put on another of the many, many fund raisers for their
friend Donnie Jarrell. This group is testimony to what a true
triathlon/multisport club should be doing as they so much more than just
swim, bike, and run together -- they give unity as a group new meaning.

Also the Baton Rouge triathlon group continues to put together a nice web site, thanks to Susan Hayden. Check it out at batonrougetri.com.
Brett Faulk of Lafayette says the competitive cyclists year-long race points have been updated following the district road race. He noted that the Category 4 race did not count for points since it did not meet the minimum field requirement.
Congratulations to the following for winning their categories with one race left in the points series:
Masters 35+
Chuck Moore - MFS/Pedal Play
Women 1-4
Shontelle Gauthier - Southern Fire Protection
Juniors
Dylan Jason - MFS/Pedal Play
http://www.lambra.org/
Thanksgiving Day Events Noted
Steve Sperrier of the Northshore-based in Mandeville said the 15th Street
Flyers will be hosting the Turkey Trotters 5K in Mandeville on Thanksgiving
morning at the Mandeville Trailhead. For more information call the Spokesman
Professional Bicycle Works at 985/-727-7211 or fax 985/727-7250 or email
spokesman@...
Also the Atlanta Marathon is typically held on Thanksgiving Day in Atlanta,
though I've not confirmed that. I've still not heard from the Baton Rouge
March of Dimes about whether the capital city Turkey Trot 5km is still set.

GatorMan Triathlon Participation Low So Far; USAT Not Helping
From Barry Laningham
Entries for the Gatorman Triathlon set for the end of the month in Lake Charles are way down. Survival depends on more entries coming in over these next few days. In order to stimulate more late registrations, I have dismissed the late fees. Interference from the age group race the following weekend in Shreveport has severely hurt the Gatorman. This is the USAT National Sprint and Relay Championship. How often do you get two national championships within driving distance. Do both races and you will really boost your rankings, nationally and regionally. Spread the word.
USAT Officials Clinic Set Sept. 20 for Natchitoches with Meat Pie Triathlon
From Elizabeth Cassano
The Meat Pie Festival and Meat Pie Tri coming up in Natchitoches should
bring much fun and excitement. I want to take this opportunity to say thank
you to all of the participants and sponsors
of the USAT Officials Clinic. Without the generous contributions of USAT,
Lake Charles Triathletes, CajunMan, Louisiana Triathlon, Indian Creek
Triathlon, Meat Pie Tri and Ed Cheatham, this event would not be possible.
The race directors from these races will need you next year! We are counting
on you to support the sport of triathlon! Please feel free
to reach me via cell if necessary at 318/613-8782.
From Ed Cheatham
The USAT Officials Clinic is set for Saturday Sept. 20th at noon at the
Tourism Office in Natchitoches. It will probably last about five hours. I'll
try to make it as painless as possible. Personally, I usually enjoy them. It
is always interesting to see what someone else comes up with. I like a
relaxed informal atmosphere.
Clinic participants will need an officials manual which is available on the internet, which
you need to bring. You also need to download the exam
to fill out and bring to the clinic. This will ensure that you have at least
read through the rules once. Of course like anything else, the more homework
you do, the more meaningful the classroom experience. Please let me know if I can help any of you before the
clinic. I'll be leaving here noon Friday. See you real soon.

Northshore Multisport User Group Shutting Down
From Bob Hodges
I am shutting down the Northshore Cyclists e-mail list. My reasons for doing this are personal and I believe the needs of cyclists in this area are well served by other cycling and multisport organizations. If there are any of you who only get your info from this list, I suggest you visit the following websites dependent upon your interests:
Recreational riding – Crescent City Cyclists at www.crescentcitycyclists.org
Road Racing – New Orleans Bicycle Club at www.gnofn.org/~nobc
Multisport – Team Earthquake at www.teamearthquake.org
Thanks to those of you who have been supportive of my efforts (however misguided they seemed at times). I appreciate your support and positive energy.

From Bob Hodges
I have an 18 foot Jeanautica Sea Kayak that I bought about three years ago for
paddling in the lake and the rivers around here. I'm selling it because
I just don't use it enough and it sits on a trailer under a storage shed
collecting dust. Pictures of the boat are attached to this e-mail.
This is a fiberglass boat built in Italy. It weighs 40 lbs. It is a
"sit-in" boat where you use a skirt. The boat is quite fast and is
manueverable enough that it does not require a rudder. The boat is
outfitted with adjustable foot pegs and includes a seat. There is a
forward and aft bulkhead that form compartments for storage of gear.
This boat could be used as a touring kayak for day trips and overnight
trips. The boat is intended for the intermediate to advanced paddler as
a novice may find it a bit unstable at first.
I am selling the boat for $1,400. This includes a skirt and a launching
dolly but does not include a paddle. I do have a beautiful wood Silver
Creek paddle made in Bryson City, NC that I could sell with the boat for
another $100.
This might be a great boat for some of you interested in adventure
racing where kayaking is one of the events.
You can contact me via e-mail or phone at 985/871-9480 if you are
interested.
