"Those who have suffered understand suffering and therefore extend their
hand." Patti Smith
Good luck to all those doing the last big competitive bike race at the New Orleans Rocktober Fest. Also, there are a few Louisiana folks headed to Hawaii for the famous and first IronMan Triathlon on the big island.

Watching the TV program American Chopper was interesting to me as a very
non-motor vehicle sort of guy who isn't terrible mechanical in any sort of
way. There was a group of guys out of New York who made a custom motor cycle
for cyclist Lance Armstrong to celebrate his Tour de France and presented it
on the Tonight Show. It was a great show that ended the six-time Tour de
France winner riding off on a fabulous yellow motor cycle. I think I'll
watch the show again.
The senior Olympic games from bowling to cycling to track and field is
stirring up a share of email activity -- at least in the egroups in which
I'm included. Way to go all you senior Olympians! I'll be right there among
them sooner than later.
Don't forget the USAT National Championship duathlon race on Nov. 6 in north
Louisiana. It's the Piney Hills Classic off-road duathlon in Ruston. Get the
details at www.DLTmultisport.com or email DLTinfo@....
Also, there's not been much said or written, but the date of Nov. 5 was
listed as the next Baton Rouge Beach Marathon. If it's in print and on paper
is it official? Check it out at brbmarathon.com.
There were some great photos of the CajunMan Triathlon in Lafayette in most
recent edition of Runner/Triathlete News. I especially liked the brutal
grimace of Pat "Rocketman" Fellows of Baton Rouge.

Keep those 2005 fitness dates and event listings coming as the printed

together. Also, the 2005 edition ad rates are attached. The materials
deadline is later in 2004, but hopefully folks and organizations are busily
organizing their materials and messages now for the magazine. I hope folks
will consider advertising to promote their products and services and to
support the ongoing publication of the magazine, which is U.S. mailed free
to triathletes, runners, duathletes, swimmers,cyclists, adventure racers,
roller bladers, and all sorts of fitness folks all over the region.

North Florida Hurricanes Impact Fitness Event Calendar
From Beverly McElwee <bmcelwee@...>
Thanks for all the Louisiana support following Hurricane Ivan. The running scene will
definitely be different around here for months to come.
I know lots of New Orleans people enjoy the Navarre Beach weekend. Right
now, it is questionable. Roads are washed out and the Holiday Inn is
damaged. We won't say the race is cancelled until we know for sure that we
can't do it.

Another race New Orleans comes over for is our Fiesta Run in early May.
That's far enough out that there should be no problem. The Fiesta course
was going to have to change this year anyway, as the Cervantes Street bridge
has been demolished for a scheduled replacement. The Seafood Festival which
was to have been last weekend was postponed. Shirts and awards had already
been purchased, so we'll hold the race later - probably Nov. 13. Our
fall cross-country run cannot be held at the University of West Florida as
usual due to heavy damage to the course. We can probably set a course at
Brosnaham County Park. See our website for daily updates.
www.pensacolarunners.com
As far as tangible assets, the club came thru pretty well. We have two
equipment trailers which had been moved for safety and they are fine. I
don't think we lost any equipment. Our budget will be tight next year due
to lost race revenue, especially if we can't do Navarre, but we'll manage.
The Capt'n Fun Runners (of which I am also a member) have lost our meeting
place at the beach for the foreseeable future. We resumed regular Wednesday
runs this week at Capt'n Funs Downtown, which is here in downtown Pensacola.
The Bushwacker Run is probably too far in the future to be impacted by the
storm. Other scheduled weekly runs have resumed or will resume any day now.
Tell all our running friends in Louisiana we welcome them back next year, and that
we'll be over as always for events such as CCC and the marathon. Thanks and call 850/434-8600 ext 201for more information.

We need some of you Louisiana folks to step forward and nominate yourself to the

your intention to run by Nov. 1, so you have a couple of weeks to

to Arkansas so we need some people to step up to
throw their helmets in the ring.
