Marathon last weekend: http://www.ingnycmarathon.org/results/results.html

Go to www.laadventureracing.com for results of last weekend's Adventure held
at Fontainebleau State Park in St. Tammany Parish.

It was great seeing Baton Rouge running guru Jenni Peters leading her regular weekly clinic on running. There are lots of folks in the capital city area taking advantage of some great group coaching from Peters, an accomplished Olympic-level competitor herself. There were about 15 runners at her clinic last night, but some say there are as many as 20 to 25 on some Tuesday nights. For information on her informal clinics and group coaching, call her at 225/383-8419.

Atchafalya Adventure Race Report
From Laurence Cohen
My team won the 24-hour Atchafalaya Adventure race. Included in the team
were captain Brian Hudson, Dave Bogle was the third male and our woman was
Julie Standing. I would nominate her for multisport athelete of the year.
This young lady was on the winning adventure racing team for basically ever
big race in the state this year (as was Brian Hudson). The only race she did
not win was because I DNF'ed. She and Brian still finished first but were
scored unofficially. Julie is one of the toughest competitors I have ever
seen, male or female. Plus, she is as nice a person as you want to meet. Our
team was the first Louisiana team to win the Atchafalaya event.

Louisiana Runner Completes Irish Dublin Marathon
From Dawn Vick dvick@...
Thanks for your support for my marathon in Dublin had an awesome trip.The
country is beautiful but quite wet. I met some very interesting Irish
people and runners from all over the world. It was a tough marathon. I was
told it was flat - wrong! It was over half hills and steep ones at that.
One was a 30 grade hill that lasted about ten minutes. I, unfortunately,
didn't train for hills. They changed the course this year. The good -- it
was a gorgeous run and we had perfect weather. The bad -- we did not have
chips and it was one of the most unorganized starts I have ever seen. More
than 8,000 people got lined up and started the run together. Their were
even spectators taking pictures mixed in with the runners. I didn't even
cross the start line until 41/2 minutes past the gun. Then I walk/ran for
another 3 minutes. For people who know me well, I was quite frustrated at
the start. My time on my trusty Ironman watch was
3 hours 29 minutes and 40 seconds from the time I crossed the start line.
Then, I walked for another three minutes until I could finally get a run
going.

All in all, it was a fun race, albeit, a little frustrating. Next time, I
will train better for hills. They kicked my ass. My legs were so cramped by
mile 18 that I actually had to walk for a minute or so, then again at mile
23. Then, I could barely walk for two days. I was the first female and
second finisher for Joints in Motion (169 people). That was the group that I
went with. We raised more than $500,000 for the arthritis organization. I
may do this race again in the future.

children, it is the only presents that they receive for Christmas. If you or
anyone you know would like to sponsor, participate or need further
information, please contact Joyce Winston or Janie Duke-McDaniel at

Congratulations to the many Louisiana runners who completed the Washington,
D.C. Marine Corps Marathon. The next big "national" marathon I guess is in
New York City? Any marathon reports out there? Check out the attachment
which Joe Wills of Baton Rouge wrote. Congrats, too, to Louisiana
triathletes who did the Great Floridian Ironman. Below is a race report from
Ken St. P� of Lafayette.

will really challenge you. Registration starts at 8 a.m. and the riders
meeting at 9:45 a.m. At 10 a.m., the experts go off first. Entry fee is $20;
no license required. Forecast temperatures are cool and should make for some
great racing conditions. So grab a friend and come out for some exciting MTB

Last Duathlon of 2003 Set for Belle Chasse
From Michael Burgess
The 2003 multisport season will be closing out soon with the staging of the
Bikes for Tykes Duathlon.
It's a two-mile run, followed by a ten-mile bike and ending with a two-mile
run. It will be one of the last opportunities to race (and score state
points for the printed edition of the Louisiana Multisport Report) this
season. Post race activities include plenty of home cooked food, soft
drinks, adult beverages and unique awards.

The Bikes for Tykes Duathlon will start at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 16, 2003
at Cypress Park in Belle Chasse. All proceeds from this event will go
towards helping the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Department buy toys for
needy local families for the Christmas season. In addition to this, if you
or someone you know has a used bike in fairly good shape to donate let me
know. Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Department does minor repairs to bikes to
give away during the holidays.

It has been a great year for multisport with even more events than last
year. Congratulations to those athletes that have trained and raced through
the year. For more information on the Bikes for Tykes Duathlon contact me at
504/361-1817, Michael.Burgess@... or mikeyrunz@... .

Louisiana Multisporter Running for USAT Post
From Robert Sigerson sigerson@...
One of the board members contacted me by e-mail to see if I would be
interested in running for the board. After some thought, I threw my hat
in the ring today. What a perverted thing to do.
It is a 2 year commitment but I don't think anyone from south Louisiana
has ever been on the board. I will let everyone know when the election
starts as I will need your
votes.

Recommendation for Lance Armstrong's New Book
From Melissa Kujawa
I read TDF winner Lance Armstrong's new book in a day. I couldn't put it
down. I am always motivated by him and since I'm getting ready for my first

athlete on the planet.

25TH IRONMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
KAILUA KONA, HAWAII
OCTOBER 18, 2003

4:00 a.m. Alarm. Regular breakfast. 4:45 a.m. into the car for the 2.8 mile drive to downtown. Then, body marking. There were 1758 athletes registered for the race and listed in the official race book, and thousands of volunteers. When we took our bikes and race and bike bags to the transition areas the day before, we each had a volunteer wearing a green volunteer t-shirt to escort us to each area; there was a sea of volunteers. We checked bikes, pumped tires, visited our bike bags, and filed out to the swim start with our pre-swim bags.

The water entry point at Kona is a tiny postage stamp size beach that disappears when waves roll in and when it�s high tide. It seemed like nobody wanted to get into the water. I got in at 6:45 a.m. for the 7:00 race start. The water was beautiful. At that time, there were still at least a thousand athletes still on land, and the race start was 500 yards out in the bay. We listened to the national anthem, and then a Hawaiian drum ceremony, and then the start cannon. I swam well, I thought. All of the swimmers around me seemed to have great technique, and I felt like we were making good time. I had swum in an endless pool at the expo the day before with video taping and a Total Immersion coach looking on (I�m a Total Immersion convert), who said that I had good technique but a lazy right arm and invited me email him with questions about how to swim faster. His evaluation raised my energy level, which was pretty low; I had gained no power from the island�s mountains, but our B&B host had given me a charm carved from whale bone to wear for receiving island power during the race Things were going so well on the swim that I thought my swim time (no wet suit except optional for 70 and older) would be about 1:10. Not so. I was out of the water in 1:28:46. Then, 900 feet to the transition tent. TR 1 time was 8:51. I decided that comfort during the race was more important than time, and changed into biking gear.

Onto the bike. I rode the first 50 miles in 2:34, and thought we had a tail wind, but there wasn�t. Then a 4 mile climb to the 60 mile mark turn around at Hawi. The return was fast, without the infamous Kona cross-wind, until the last 20 miles into a head wind into the finish. Bike time was 6:22:56. I change into running gear. TR 2 time was 5:23.

On the run, I had a bad attitude. I didn�t want to hurt. I had good form when I ran, but I walked most of the run. At 11 hours into the race, 12 miles into the marathon, the sun went down. It was bitch black. This race usually has a full moon, but there was no moon and it was cloudy. Ambulances were driving the run course in the dark and I wondered how they would ever find the injured before light next morning. Run time was 5:16:40.

Total time was 13:22:38. Received finisher�s t-shirt, lei, finisher�s medal, and replica of original Ironman trophy sculpture. Now the triathlon shuffle for 4 days, and some recovery time.

Good morning,I just wanted to mention to all of you that I had signs made for all of us for the Ironman competition (70). Wayne DelCorral has graciously offered to put them out on the bike course for us on Friday and Mike "The Lumberjack" Aldridge has agreed to pick them up for us.

Why am I telling you all this???? Well, they ended up costing more than I realized.........And so I was hoping that I could get each of you to contribute to the Help-Save-Theresa's-Hide Fund, cuz when Salty finds out................I'm outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, anything you can give at all would be so appreciated, and if you can't give, that's okay, too.

Thanks, your goofy friend,

Theresa

"True richness is made day by day with great effort." Francesco Alberoni

Marathon training is definitely harder after intense running and racing for nearly 30 years. I'm aching and groaning like a true old man these days as I pound the pavement! I don't think I'll make my personal goal of running one marathon per calendar year for 2003. For me, the challenge is regrouping on a new fitness program and adjusting my goals. And the challenge of setting goals is knowing when to trash them, knowing how to adjust them, and just plain old setting them at all.

Forgive the complaints, but I feel better now.

Anyone read TDF winner Lance Armstrong's new book?

Lots of week day-cycling schedules will change as the sun continues setting sooner and as the end of day light savings time approaches. It's been a fun summer of pack riding with the bunch in Baton Rouge on the River Road. It was just amazing to have enough riders to have two different groups riding regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I hope I'm not in trouble with New York City Marathon officials for passing
along Baton Rouge runner Patte Keogh's information on an entry she has. If
someone has connections to the event in the Big Apple, please let them know
it was innocent communication thought to be within the rules and appropriate
prior to running the 26.2-mile race.

St. Croix in the Virgin Islands is getting ready for its famous ultra
distance open-water swim set at the end of the month. I hope we'll have some
reports from you open-water swim stars! I know a few Baton Rougeans going to
the famous swim. Anyone else out there going to the event?

By the way, I need to make a correction from last week's Multisport Report
enewsletter. Ben Hewitt of the Northshore did not -- repeat did not -- run
the Durango Marathon in Colorado. He was just reporting on what he heard
from others who ran the event recently in the Rocky Mountains. I am sorry
for the confusion.

I am still putting together 2004 event date listings, so encourage all your
race directors out there to set some dates and get their information to me
for inclusion in the only printed edition of the Louisiana Multisport Report
set for distribution in late January, 2004. There is still time to include
ads in the edition, but the November deadline is approaching. If you have an
address change to receive the printed publication free, direct it to
dunawayoffice@.... For advertising information, call me or email me
so I can get you ad specifications and prices.

IronStar Half IronMan Triathlon Report from Conroe, TX
(For complete results, go to
http://www.doitsports.com/newresults3/client/38661_43593_2003.txt)
BoBo Anderson of Opelousas won masters men division and Sue "Brew" Boudreaux
of Mandeville won the masters women's division at the first IronStar Half
IronMan Triathlon in Conroe, TX. Anderson actually finished third overall.

I hear that Joseph M. Lee of Baton Rouge had one of the best time out of the
water and was one of the first off the bike course. Too bad John Deshotel dropped some weights on his
foot and was kept out of the race. I hear he's working even harder on his
swimming as he recovers from his foot injury.

There were many Louisiana triathletes signed up for the event, though not
all showed up to race. There were a handful of the Northshore Team
Earthquakers, lots from Baton Rouge, and many from Acadiana. I can't say
that I know all those from North Louisiana. Sue Boudreaux said, "We decided that it was a great
race, but because it was the first year, there are definitely some
improvements that can be made. The swim was in beautiful Lake Conroe,
wetsuits allowed. It was a very unusual course, in that you had no idea
where you were going at any given time. I just followed whoever was in
front, and hoped they could spot the buoys."

Many described the bike course as awesome. It was described as rolling hills -- I think not. It
was up and down the whole time, but the scenery was great, and it's nice
riding somewhere new and different, according to Sue Boudreaux. "I could have ridden for another 59
miles! The run was hot and boring, but again with some fairly big hills. Biggest complaint-no beer after the race!
However, the absolutely best pre-race pasta meal I have ever had," she added.

Louisiana Senior Olympics Report
From Jim
(For complete results and data go to www.lsog.net)
Lee Tonglet was awarded second place overall and gold in his age class at the
Saturday Louisiana Senior Olympic Games 40km cycling road race.

We call him LeeRoy Iacocca, or as many who ride close on his wheel call
him, Iacocca. He is still looking for first and came very close.

Sunday's LSOG saw a perfect score for Iacocca of three for three events
and all golds (5km and 10km time trials and 20km road race).

A 92-year-old put in a solid performance and with finishing the 20km was
still putting tremendous force to the pedals. A 77-year-old woman
finished very solid in the 20km also.

Mud Bug Mayhem Off Road Bike Races in Baton Rouge

New York's Lake Placid IronMan Triathlon is featured this weekend on Sunday,
Oct. 19, on ESPN2 at 12:30 p.m. At 5 p.m. that same Sunday there will be a
25th anniversary show of IronMan
races.

Congratulations to all the Louisiana runners who participated in last
weekend's Chicago Marathon. I got to watch the Long Beach Marathon in
southern California over the weekend while in the area visiting my
daughters. There was a huge crowd for the event just south of Los Angeles. I
was especially impressed by the large contingent of roller bladers. It was a
warm day by any standard for a 26.2-mile effort -- running or rolling.

Good luck to all the Louisiana triathletes traveling to Conroe, TX for a big half IronMan-distance race outside of Houston. There should be a large Louisiana contingent there as there will be in Clermont, FL for the IronMan going on there this month.

Benjamin Hewett of the Northshore just got back from the Durango Marathon n
Colorado and gives rave reviews to the event. He said Rocky Mountain scenery
was incredible running through the valley with mountains on both sides and
all the colors changing was breath taking. The course was not difficult he
said, but the elevation at 6,800 feet made it difficult to breathe. For
more information contact <tricapt@...>

The Baton Rouge Race for the Cure 5km set for March 6th is looking for
volunteers either on race day, before, or after the event. Call 225/927-4463
or email eriekay@....

I'm still filling in dates for 2004 races for the printed annual edition of
the Louisiana Multisport Report due out in the U.S. mail in January. Urge
your area race directors to send event dates to me for inclusion in our
publication. Again, if you like the free Louisiana Multisport Report we've
published the last ten years, put in a good word to potential organizers or
send me contact information. Advertisers make free distribution possible.

Don't forget to email your physical address changes to receive the U.S.
mailed printed edition of the 2004 Louisiana Multisport Report to
dunawayoffice@... and put "MSReport Address Change" in the subject
line. The magazine is mailed free.

Printed entry forms for the Baton Rouge Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot 5km are in the U.S. mail There is no online registration or web site, but runners can call 225/295-0655 for more information.

Weekend Velodrome Report Posted
From Josie Babin
Here are the results from last week's district velodrome meet in Baton
Rouge:
The Sprint Events.
We had a light turnout for our end of season event but some good
racing nonetheless. Some of our newer racers are showing off the
speed they've achieved during the season. Rob Luker (MFS) and Brian
Jordan (NOBC) duked it out over three sprints for the title and were neck
and neck for the timed events. Will Bujanda (MFS) is nipping at the
heels of teammate Farrell Crane in the sprints --looks like having
super sprinter Jeff LeBauve as a coach is paying off! We were able
to do some mixing and matching for the team sprint, which meant that
Randy Legeai (NOBC) ended up in three of four teams -- what a trooper!

Thanks to all who came out to race and thank you to Brian Apsey,
Chasin Frew, and Adrian Percy who volunteered their time to help out.
I also thank Will Bujanda and Red Bull who made sure we were pepped
up for the event!

Remember, part two of our district track meet is this Saturday, Oct. 18!

"Never desert your own line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and
you will succeed." Sydney Smith

I saw the ULL on-campus triathlon drew nearly 100 participants. I am sure
the LSU version of an on-campus triathlon will draw nearly that many in a
couple of weeks when it's held in Baton Rouge. These events usually start
with the run and end with a pool swim. Word is that Bill Burke's first
AbitaMan Triathlon in New Orleans will feature a pool swim at the Univeristy
of New Orleans.

Congrats to Chuck George and all the Race for the Cure 5km volunteers who
put on the event in New Orleans last Sunday. Check out the results at
NOTC.org. Baton Rouge Race for the Cure 5km plans are underway for the March
6 event and organizers could use some volunteers. There will be a meeting
Monday, Oct. 13 at the Mary Bird Perkins Center next to the Lady of the Lake
Hospital on Essen Lane in Baton Rouge. For more information on how to get
involved, call 225/324-9559 or 225/927-4463.

The Lafayette Race for the Cure 5km is set for March 20.

Attached is the early draft of 2004 fitness events that I've begun receiving for the
upcoming printed edition of the annual Louisiana Multisport Report.
Encourage race directors to start setting their 2004 event dates so they can
be included in our annual printed magazine sent free to multisporters all
over the state.

For those in or near the Greater New Orleans area this weekend, don't forget
the Oct. 11, Saturday free Stretching Clinic (from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.). It
would be nice if you could let Michael Babin and his crew in Kenner know if
you are coming. Check out the attachment.

I am in the middle of selling ads for the annual printed edition of the
Louisiana Multisport Report, which is what enables folks to get the
once-a-year magazine sent to them free. If you like the annual publication,
put in a good word to your area physical therapists, sports retailers, event
organizers, bike shops or whoever you think could benefit from advertising in our
publication. This is our tenth year of publication thanks to so many of you
out there in the multisport world. Email me with your U.S. mail address for
ad rates and publication specifications.

Collegiate Track Omnium Set at BR Velodrome
From William Cheramie
This upcoming Saturday, Oct. 11, LSU Cycling will be hosting Baton
Rouge's first collegiate track omnium at the BREC velodrome. Racing starts
at 8:30 a.m. and should end around noon. The event is open to collegiate
cyclists only (those designated as full time students by their university),
but we would like to invite all to attend and support the LSU Cycling Team;
Louisiana's only collegiate cycling team.

We are expecting riders from Auburn, Baylor, Texas A&M, University of
Houston, Midwestern State University, and Florida. We realize that the
LSU-Florida football game is that afternoon, but for those that have never
been to a collegiate cycling event, they are quite different
than the typical USCF race. So, all you alumni and cycling fans, consider
spending your Saturday morning with the Tigers at the BREC velodrome
before you head to the football game.

Adventure Race Planned Nov. 1 at Fontainebleau State Park

From Louis Leonard "Salty" Galvis
Louisiana Adventure Racing will hold the first annual Fontainebleau Adventure Race at beautiful Fontainebleau State Park outside of Mandeville, Louisiana on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2003. It promises to be a terrific and fun event, and Louisiana Adventure Racing has generously offered to donate a large portion of its profits from the race to the Donnie Jarrell Fund. Therefore, we encourage those of you who are into adventure racing, as well as those of you who would like to try your hand at it for the first time, to sign up and do the race.
The details of the adventure race are as follows:

The Fontainebleau Adventure Race presented by Pelican Athletic Club will be like no other event you've experienced before. Teams of three will compete in co-ed, all-male, or all-female divisions. Special team awards will be given to the top three finishers in each division. This four-hour event is a fund raising adventure race to help Donnie, Tonya, and Logan Jarrell. An active multisport competitor, Donnie Jarrell was recently diagnosed with the most aggressive form of Lou Gehrig's Disease, which attacks the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord. The prognosis is a rapid loss of physical function in the next few months with a life expectancy of less than two years. Early registration is $60 per person. For assistance in finding teammates, check out the Teammate Finder page. You can download the Fontainebleau entry form by clicking on the Fontainbleau tab on the home page.
Time: 10 a.m.
Location: Fontainebleau State Park
U.S. Highway 190
Mandeville, LA

You can do so by contacting David Poleto at dpoleto@... any of the other persons "cc'ed" on this memo.

Baton Rouge IronMan Racer Dedicating Hawaii Event to Robert Martin Memorial Fund

From Goldie Domingue-Baker
In the coming days many of you should receive in the U.S. mail our Robert's Ride brochure for this year's fund-raising campaign for the Robert Martin Memorial Fund -- Robert's Fund .You can also go to Robert's Fund updated website at www.robertsfund.com for information about this year's fundraising campaign and gifts made by Robert's Fund to children's organizations.

This year, instead of making his annual bicycle ride from Baton Rouge to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Philip is dedicating his participation in the World Championship IronMan Triathlon in Kona, Hawaii, on Oct. 18, to the memory of Robert, Karen and Denis who were tragically killed in a Swiss Air flight several years ago.

Today, Philip Baker, who qualified for the Hawaii IronMan at the Coeur D'Alene IronMan last summer, also registered to participate in the Janus Charity Challenge, which in an IronMan fundraising program through which The Janus Foundation (www.janusfoundation.org) makes additional contributions to the beneficiaries of the top fundraisers at each of the five U.S. IronMan races, including the World Championship in Hawaii.

With the help of your contribution, Robert's Fund could receive additional funds from the Janus Foundation. By raising a minimum of $500, Robert's Fund could receive as much as an additional $750 from the Janus Charity Challenge. Of course, the more funds that are raised for Robert's Fund, the more additional funds could be received from Janus.

In order for your donation to count towards to Janus Charity Challenge, your donation or pledge must be received at the Baton Rouge Area Foundation no later than Friday, Oct. 17, the day before the triathlon. Payment of all pledges must be received at the Baton Rouge Area Foundation no later than Friday, Nov. 8.

The Robert's Ride brochure that is on its way to you in the mail contains a donation form inside. You can also find a donation form on the Robert's Fund website (www.robertsfund.com ).

If you would like to make a donation by credit card, you can do so online at www.active.com/donate/kona/robertsfund You can also make a donation online by accessing the donation page from the Janus Charity Challenge website www.januscharitychallenge.com; scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Ironman World Championship"; on the next page, go to "View Personal Fundraisers Pages" and select "Philip Baker")

We apologize for the short notice about the Janus Charity Challenge, and want to thank you in advance for your donation.

I hope all of you eligible voters are registered and set to vote in the Oct. 4 Louisiana elections. We've already seen how important our role is in city, parish, and state government as it pertains to when, where, and how we run, bike, swim, roller blade, sail, or whatever! Take your citizenship seriously and vote. It does make a difference.

Bike race organizer and competitor Jon Anderson is moving to Minnesota in October. The St. Francisville resident and his wife Jackie have been pivotal in putting together lots and lots of bike racing in Louisiana and maybe even in Mississippi. When no one else would stage an event, the Andersons would do so. They were tireless workers for the sport. He really revived competitive cycling in the region by putting on so many, many fine events that drew cyclists from all over the country. Until the Andersons began staging races in the early 1990s, Louisiana bike races had narrowed to maybe a couple events a year and were hardly the events so many bike races are today. He also was instrumental in helping get the LAMBRA going and bring so many more cyclists into competitive cycling events. The Anderson's move to Minnesota is a tremendous loss for the competitive cycling community of the region. He was a great bike racer and even did a few running events and triathlons.

I hear that the first Meat Pie Triathlon in Natchitoches was very well done with about 200 or so participants involved in conjunction with the Meat Pie Festival. If you haven't visited Natchitoches, you need to check it out next year when the next Meat Pie Triathlon happens. I hear triathlete-turned-adventure racer Laurence Cohen showed up to race all the way from New Orleans? The results are posted on lafayettefitness.org. Congratulations to new race director Elizabeth Cassno for her staging her first multisport event.

The PelicanMan Duathlon once again keeps on keeping on, bringing in the regulars and the ever-increasing new comers to the sport. Way to go Chalmette Track Club and company! The folks in St. Bernard Parish have been one of the most reliable bunches putting on fitness events for at least a couple of decades now. I think I read somewhere that the Du LaPlace run-bike-run contest is once again set for St. John the Baptist Parish. I think Rick Elmore is putting that event together. Stay tuned.

Race directors, it's time to get your 2004 calendars out and set some fitness event dates. I'm organizing the next printed edition of the Louisiana Multisport Report and I need dates.

Oct. 18 is the Thibodaux Race for the Cure 5km, set for a 9 a.m. start.

Multisport folks might be interested in this review. It also gives a lot of info about saddle design and selection.

Shreveport Holds Race for the Cure 5km
From Alan Moore <amoore@...>
Shreveport's Race for the Cure was last Saturday and all reports are a good time was had by all. We had a group of over 40 participants from our advertising club alone that were there. Bossier City resident Chuck Owen said he had heard of the race series, but never run one until this year. Since cancer invaded his family, finding a cure for any of the cancers is of interest to him. He said the Komen Foundation does a good job of heightening our understanding of breast cancer and appreciating that we can have a part in providing a cure.

For Susan G. Komen "Race for the Cure" information and event dates, please
visit her website at www.Komen.com. The New Orleans "Race for the Cure" is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 5th.
For entry forms, information visit the NOTC website at www.runNOTC.org

Louisiana Editor Named for Triathlon Magazine

From Rob Walters, TransitionTimes.com Triathlon Magazine.

Chuck Grose based in Baton Rouge has been named the Louisianan enews editor for nationally produced Triathlon Times. For those of you who don�t know, TT is a free web based triathlon magazine at www.transitiontimes.com since 1996.

I wanted to thank everyone for the great response to my last email. It was so overwhelming that we ran out of TT stickers and goodies half way through. No fear, a new order has been placed and we will get them out as soon as they arrive. A couple of new things we would like to tell you about:

1 -- Get a free club website. If your club needs a website to pass on information to members please let us know. We can set you up with your own club website for free with a web based admin section. You can post all your club news and race schedule.

2 -- We are looking for local editors for several states. Please let your team members know.

It is a position you or any of your team members can do on the side with just a couple of hours a week. Local editors post local news and race schedules. It is a great way to get more involved in the sport for fun or profit. Plus it is a great way to advertise your club in your area.

2003 Tour de' Tangipahoa Termed "Great Success"

From Marc Breech

Even with an early kick-off time for LSU and Georgia football game last week, the Tour still had 150 riders on the road with what I would guess about 80 percent taking on the 62-mile route.

Once again, the Hammond Kiwanis Club produced a very enjoyable event. All rest stations, with normal food and drink items, had a Port-o-let and iced towels to relieve and refresh riders. The post ride meal was really good and the massage was even better. Nothing like receiving a massage on those tired legs.

3,000 runners and walkers. Does anyone know when the Shreveport, Houma or Thibodaux Race

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

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.

For Sale
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.

"It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility; they
must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it." Charlotte
Bronte

It's CajunMan Triathlon time and district road race time in northwest Louisiana for competitive cyclists. Wow, what a weekend it will be for weekend racing warriors.

Rusty Bex, John Deshotel, Jerry Richard, and the incredible battalion of volunteers in Lafayette are working hard to make the CajunMan Triathlon one of the best yet. There are lots of updates and news notes on lafayettefitness.org about the CajunMan Tri, including a listing of pre-registered triathletes. Alan Moore has been working hard, too, with lots less resources to make the year-end cycling road races work. We can't do without dedicated race directors.

The real troopers at this weekend's events will volunteer the afternoon/evening before their racing events, then go to a collegiate football game, tune in to the 9 p.m. LSU football game being played in Arizona and party all night. Then and only then these troopers rise early to race and race hard the next day and finally volunteer to help race directors pack up the event. At least that's what Bo Bo Anderson says. He'll be working hard with the CajunMan Tri volunteers on Saturday afternoon, then juicing up to go see the Louisiana Tech vs. ULL football game at Cajun Stadium in Lafayette. Now, that's what I call multisporting. I don't know what options Alan Moore has for collegiate sports in northwest Louisiana before the USCF races in Benton.

Is this the week for the NOTC's bridge run?

Amid all the multisport activities going on, I dare not neglect the efforts
of so many on the north shore of Lake Ponchartrain to help long-time
multisporter Donnie Jarrell, who is fighting Lou Gehrig's disease. He's got
some powerful friends who have emotionally, physically, and financially
supported him and his family through a storm of medical challenges. At he
Elephant Walk Triathlon in Destin recently, he was awarded the Scott
Christmas award and gave what many describe as "an awesome
acceptance/motivational speech" leaving few dry eyes in the crowd.

Jarrell is one of those jewels in multisporting (great runner, cyclist, and
multisporter and not a bad swimmer either). His medical/physical challenges
he now faces is a reminder of how fleeting life can be and how much more we
all have to offer beyond the realms of mere fitness competition. Press on
Donnie!

LAMBRA would like to congratulate Mississippi rider Frank Moak of Herring Gas and Bain Foote of Twin City Cyclists based in Monroe for winning their categories with two events left on the calendar. http://www.lambra.org

Don't forget, the annual edition of the Louisiana Multisport Report production has begun. This is a printed magazine done once a year that ranks competitive cyclists, runners, swimmers, and multisporters on accomplishments during the calendar year. This is a labor of love done by a couple of guys in their off hours. If you're not sure whether you're on the U.S. mail list or if you've changed addresses, direct changes to dunawayoffice@... and include the note MSR Address List in the subject line with a line about why you are emailing the change. The magazine is sent free of charge in early February of 2004.

Also, any 2004 fitness event dates that have been set need to be submitted as soon as possible. There are already a number of 2004 dates set for fitness events. Remember race directors, he who hesitates to set a date loses the optimum dates!

Save Funding for Bicycle, Pedestrian Projects, Call Congress Today

From Bruce Wickert

If you have a few minutes, please make a phone call to let your congressman know that you support dedicated funding ($600M nation wide which is peanuts) for bicycle and pedestrian projects. Call today or tomorrow, the vote is on Thursday for an amendment to strike Section 114 from HR 2989.

The U.S. capitol switchboard phone number is 202/224-3121, and for many of us in the BR area, our congressman is Richard Baker. For more material go to info@...

On Thursday, Sept. 4th, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on
the 2004 Transportation Appropriations bill. Currently, that bill contains
language which eliminates funding for the popular transportation
enhancements program, the major source of federal money for projects such
as multi-use paths, bike lanes and safety education efforts.

Two good friends of bicycling, Congressman Tom Petri (R-WI) and
Congressman John Olver (D-MA) will offer an amendment during debate on
Thursday to restore the funding.

Call your U.S. Representative today and ask him to support the amendment by
Petri (pron "PEE-try") and Olver to save the Enhancements program by
striking Section 114 of HR 2989. Make the call on Tuesday, Sept. 2 or
Wednesday, Sept. 3.

The main U.S. capitol switchboard is 202/224-3121. To figure out who represents
you, visit http://econstituent.votenet.com/lab and type in your zip code
at the bottom. Call the Representative's Washington office.

Since 1991, the Enhancements program has built over 16,000
locally-initiated projects in communities across the country. For more
info, visit www.americabikes.org.

Let's make some noise in Congress! Please call today and forward this
action alert to all friends of cycling.

Notes on Hotter 'n Hell 100
From Alan Moore <amoore@...>
Just to let you know, Hotter'n'Hell doesn't have the USCF races anymore.
This is the second year they've not had them. They dropped them after USA
Cycling wouldn't upgrade the standing of their races even though they paid out
more money and had better attendance than some NRC events with higher
gradings. It's left some pretty sour feelings between the two groups.

But in regards to HHH, the only story I can tell you about is that one of
LaS'port's elite women racers, Jennifer Purcell of Dallas, finished 7th
overalland was the first woman to finish the 100-mile route. She had spent
10 days at SuperWeek in Wisconsin so her fitness level is right up there. But
since HHH is not a race now, she got no prizes for her accomplishment.

District Road Races Set for Competitive Cyclists

From Alan Moore

Well, things are going fairly good for the races this weekend. It's been
something to put this together as quickly as we have! This will be a bare-bones
cycling event -- nothing fancy. We will have water and Gatorade at the parking area and a
couple of port-a-lets. Here's some things for all of you to look over:

1. Bring your own shade like tents or the hatchback of your SUV. The temps
should be pretty good, so far a predicted high of 88 degrees with lots o' sun
and lows in the mid-60s both days. I've no idea what the humidity will be and how
that'll affect the heat index. Suffice it to say that it'll get warmer as the
day goes on.

2. If you can't make arrangements for handups at the feed zones (no neutral
feeds will be available), then be prepared to carry your own aqua (that's water
to those of you at LSU -- sorry, I'm a ULM fan! Man, ya'll kicked our butts!)
and food. In some of these races you'll need it! You cannot ditch your empty
bottles!! Put it back in your pocket or cage and carry it home with you. Auto DQ
for pitching trash on the race course unless you do it in the designated feed
zones and that includes gel packs.

3. There has been one change on the course that applies to all the races. As you
return to the finish, when you are heading south on Seven Pines Road you will
continue to go straight instead of turning right onto Cycle Plant Road. As you
continue to go south you will come to Highway 162 and turn right for a straight
shot back to the finish. This change eliminates a left turn, also gets rid of a
hidden spot at Butler Hill Road/Hwy. 162, and will be a lot safer for the
racers. It'll be faster, too. Remember, Cycle Plant Road will NOT be used for
the return. Go straight south on Seven Pines and right on 162. I'll send out a
revised map in a day or two.

4. This race will be hilly by Louisiana standards! Having a 23- or 25-tooth cog on your Zipp wouldn't
be such a bad thing. It can be done well enough in a 21 but ain't it nice to
have more options?

5. If you get dropped by the pack and the wheel vehicle passes you by, don't
feel lonely. But be alert when you come to intersections. The road is always
open to traffic and if you're not with the main group, you are obligated to slow
down at the turns and look for traffic unless a course marshall waves you
through. Many of the turns are marked with yellow arrows painted on the road or
with vertical signs with arrows. There should be course marshals at every
intersection or turn, but you have a responsibility to keep your head up and pay
attention to them and to the traffic around you!! This is just a district road
race (with medals and little money), it's not the world championships. Keep
everything in perspective here and be careful!

6. As always, volunteers are appreciated and if you or someone with you wants to
be part of the event as a volunteer, we'll take 'em.

7. The finish line will be at the now-closed North Calvary Church about 200
meters east of Benton Elementary on Highway 162. When you cross the line, keep
going and turn into the parking lot right after your finish. Get off the highway as soon as you can.

Well, that's all I can think of for now. I hope you have fun and get a good
workout. I figured since this was a championship race, it should be on a tough
course and thanks to Terry Milam I think it is. It'll be up to you whether you
agree or not. Maybe Hodges is tougher, maybe not, but our roads will be better
(there are a few homages to Jon Anderson out there, you'll find them).

If you have any questions, please let me know. In the meantime, I'm waiting for
the race permit to arrive.

Sept. 20 Tour de Tangipahoa Bike Ride Notes
From Salty Galvis
I've done the Tour de Tangipahoa two or three times in prior years and
enjoyed it as an MS Tour tune-up. However, since the Tangipahoa Parish
Council passed Ordinance No. 98-13, restricting the ability of cyclists to
ride in Tangipahoa, I've boycotted the event. I was part of a
letter-writing campaign explaining to the promoters, the Hammond Kiwanis
Club, why I wasn't going to participate after the passage of the ordinance.

In recent years, another line of thought has been to ride in the event and
to show the Tangipahoa Parish Council why it should let cyclists back on its
roads without the restrictions currently in place -- no groups of more than
8 cyclists without first: (1) posting the ride in the local paper 48 hours
in advance, (2) obtaining a permit from the parish permit office, and (3)
obtaining a police escort for the ride, all to be enforced with a fine of
$500 per person for violations (increased last year from $200). However,
rather than rescind the ordinance, the parish beefed up the fine for
violations. And if this year's MS Tour training rides are any indication of
how cyclists are going to behave on those group rides that involve many
infrequent riders who either don't know or don't care to abide by the
cycling laws, the odds are that the participating cyclists' conduct in the
event will not change any anti-cycling sentiment in Tangipahoa.

I'll pass on the Tour de Tangipahoa
985/727-2345; 504/576-2050

Some Report League of American Bicyclists Becoming More Appealing

From Jack Bertel

After my accident, I decided it was about time that I join the League
of American Bicyclists, which I did.

Now that a vehicle in Texas has collided with a pack of riders and
killed two more cyclists, it is all the more reason to join the
League. As an added motivation, I will match the $30.00 membership
fee for the first 25 members of our group that joins this year (email
me when you join).

Looking for USAT Officials for Louisiana

From Sam Houston Jones

I would like to re-emphasize how great an opportunity it is for Louisiana to get some
certified USAT officials Sept 20-21 in conjunction with the Meat Pie Triathlon in Natchitoches (the weekend LSU plays Georgia in football).

It's crazy that we don't have a single certified official in our state and I hope folks will consider participating in Natchitoches.

Down Cyclists in Texas Sounds Like June 11, 2002 in Louisiana
From Richard Lamb
http://thefacts.com/story.lasso?wcd=9722
The above link will take you to the story regarding the lost of two of our
fellow cyclists.We had an accident today that included some of our family of
cyclists. Today during a ride in the Lake Jackson area, with Ruben S., Kenny
York, and Many More were hit by a Lady in a truck, she lost control and hit
the pack of riders. Kenny's close friend-she was life flight to Herman
Hospital. Two fellow cyclist were killed at the site. And many more were
injured, broken bones and broken skin and etc.As this happen we need to
always expect the unexpected, we can never be to careful.

I would like to ask for Pray for the many cyclist and their families that
were involved in this accident.

"We are all faced with a series of great opportunities -- brilliantly
disguised as insoluble problems." John William Gardner

For me, no season is more defined than the one started the beginning of school. At least in my North American experience, seasons have been rooted in relation to what's going on with school, regardless of whether you're a student or not. We can all talk about seasons in terms of weather and the changing position of the planet earth, but the way I've lived and I think most others with whom I've trained, seasons are more determined by the routines of how we live through our projects, schools, professions and homes.

Thus, I am in the middle of a change of seasons. So right now with lots of students back in school, routines by necessity are changing. The weekday rides are a bit thinner, the Ironman training has begins to stretch out into longer miles, the end is near for the LAMBRA for points accumulation and plans for cooler weather running events have heightened. Such is the season of so many runners and racers I know in the deep South.

Add to all that the reality that the days are indeed getting shorter; I rode home after the River Road pack ride in the dark! Of course David and Amy Alexander did bring water melon to enjoy, so I hung around a little longer after a good, challenging ride in the Louisiana heat and humidity. It was great hearing a share of new multisporters talk with amazing enthusiasm about getting ready for their first triathlon and hearing the experienced racers talk about their upcoming Ironman expectations in glaring cool, calm, collected conversational contrast.

Pay attention, the season has changed and so must we. Press on!

I hear there was a large Louisiana contingent riding and racing the Hotter 'n Hell 100 in Texas last weekend. I know Trez Traylor said he was a part of a fast-paced pack that never stopped during the century, but I've not heard any race reports on the USCF-sanctioned races that go on in conjunction with the ride.

What's the word on the NOTC bridge run? Is that still a huge road running event in the Greater New Orleans area? I believe that event is next weekend on either the night before or the day of the CajunMan Triathlon in Lafayette. Good luck to Rusty Bex and crew putting on the CajunMan next weekend; he's got a sold out race.

Cyclists Asked to Name State's "Best Climb"
From Bruce Wickert
I received a forward from our state advocacy chairman (Daniel Swords),
indicating that Louisiana is not on the map for having a "best climb" for an
upcoming article in Bicycling. There is a good reason, and that is compared
with the rest of the country, we have no climbs. We are known as the "Bayou
State" and for good reason. There are many sluggish streams, otherwise known
as "Bayous" that move about as fast as sloth, because there just isn't very
much elevation difference to move the water.

However, there are some rollers that might qualify as interesting diversions
for the "wanna be" climbers in the area. We have a part of the state known as
the Tunica Hills in the Felicianas, which consist of clay bluffs (we have no
bedrock here either) overlooking the Mississippi river floodplain, that have
been eroded by the ten inch per day rainfalls that come by every hurricane
season. These eroded bluffs have some really steep, but short rises, and
this is the location of the spot I chose to include as the best climb in
Louisiana. These hills are extremely difficult to traverse without a road or
path, and combined with the subtropical growth they support, are used as a
natural barrier to prevent escapes from the nearby Angola State
Penitentiary.

With that as a preamble, here is my entry in the appropriate table.

For Sale
From David Alexander <davidealex@...>
In an ongoing effort to reduce the cycling inventory in my garage,
I've decided to sell the "piece de la resistance", the ultimately
customizable limited edition John Hagan Bike Rack. When you say John
Hagan you mean quality. A rack of similar design once saved Trez
from a nasty rear-end collision by spearing the offending car.

This one was on my Toyota 4-Runner which I no longer own.

How about $70 (obo of course)
Here are some super sassy shots of it, kicking back on my driveway....

"I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or
misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances."

Martha Washington

Well it's been a nice, long and of course hot summer of racing and I've escaped so far without too many scratches and no cycling tumbles. But Saturday I came close when two riders went down on a ride (in separate incidents on the same workout) which I did mostly with multisporters. Early in the ride we had a tumble, but the rider got back up pretty quickly and we regrouped fine. A while later, though Warren McDonald hit a bad pot hole and took really bad spill. He's got some broken bones and a hurt spirit, but he's recovering as only a competitive multisporter would: impatiently. Thank God he seems to be okay and on the road to readiness for the Conroe Half Ironman. Can you believe?

I've seen some notes among chat groups on folks and bug bites, too. I know lots of you are writing off using such protecting things as insect repellant as I more often than not do myself. But I've had a dear friend of mine in Jacksonville, FL indeed die at the young age of 52 from a spider bite that resulted in a blood infection. You might want to think about bug spray when you do your off road riding,biking or whatever. Just a thought.

No doubt we're attracted to our competitive fitness pursuits because they challenge us athletically, physically, emotionally and indeed ecologically, but let's at least pay attention as we weigh the risks in our respective challenges. Be careful out there!

Shannon Koch of Team LaS'port has been chosen as a "Faces in the Field" featured
rider on the Texas Bicycle Racing Association (TxBRA) website. Go check it out

Update on Lake Charles GatorMan Triathlon

From Barry Laningham

Recently I met with the public works dept out along the seawall where the new GatorMan Triathlon site will be to inspect the new steps they have built for our race. The steps are aluminum bleacher steps about eight-feet wide with three steps running under the water. The steps also have smooth aluminum handrails and each step is covered with a non-skid rubber mat. The steps are bolted to the top of the concrete seawall and are very sturdy as seven big guys and myself got on top of the steps and bounced up and down on them. The steps will be place down just prior to the race by Public Works and picked up afterwards, as they are removable. The foreman had his bathing suit on, so I told him to swim out a ways, then return swim and scamper up the steps as fast as he could. He definitely was no racer, but he had no problem getting up the steps even with the low tide. The public works dept has done a great job with these steps, but has jumped ahead of the city's legal dept. As far as I know the legal department has not given its final approval. The public works department is also building more barricades for the race and general use, so we will not have to use the large barricades from the highway department.

For the transition area we have the use of a large trailer of metal locking barricades which will be delivered to the civic center for us, instead of us having to drive in the fence posts and setting up the orange fencing. As more develops, I will let y'all know.

USAT Officials Clinic Possibility Noted

From Elizabeth Cassano

We need some USAT officials in Louisiana; we have none. So I want to know if there is an interest from Louisiana triathlon race directors/administrators and friends in providing financial support for an USAT Officials Clinic. I have been contacted by Ed Cheatham, regional officials coordinator, USAT/SMW, in regards to coordinating a USAT Officials Clinic. The purpose would be to train and certify five to eight people from Louisiana who would in turn officiate Louisiana area triathlons.

This clinic must take place on the day preceding a triathlon. The clinic would last five or more hours covering the officials manual, citing techniques, special rules, etc.... Participants of the clinic would work the race the next day as part of their upgrade requirements. Motorcycles are required on race day for each clinic participant to be upgraded to a Cat IV referee. For more info on the Officials program visit USATtriathlon.org (I also have a few more details).
The costs/requirements of the Clinic total $469.80 + motorcycles:

--$329.80 mileage (this is based on round trip travel mileage from Corpus Christi to Natchitoches);
--$75 stipend for the course itself;
--$65 (approx for a hotel room for Ed Cheatham);
Motorcycles for all Clinic Officials.

As a first-time event, it would not be economical for Meat Pie Tri to assume all costs. However, Meat Pie Tri is willing to serve as host if interested parties are willing to share the costs. I would be glad to take care of the $75 stipend, the hotel room (no more comp rooms available) and be responsible for arranging for the required number of motorcycles. Therefore, $329.80 remains. If anyone is interested in hosting the event or in making a contribution for an Officials Clinic, please let me know.

If it is determined that we will move forward with the clinic, I will initiate a memo to be distributed to any contacts that may be interested (i.e. club members, family, etc.).

Cycling Trails Funding Grants Under Fire
From Bill Sawyer
Fresh out of subcommittee, a new congressional transportation appropriations
bill will eliminate some $600 million worth of annual federal funding for
bike facilities, walkways, and other such alternative transportation
projects in fiscal year 2004.

The bill will entirely eliminate the funding-unless our nation's cyclists
create such a stir that the Enhancements portion is reinstated into the
bill.

Defenders of the bill argue that, in light of huge federal deficits,
something has to go, but for bike activists and environmentalists who have
been pushing for decades for alternatives to driving, the cuts are a giant
step backward.

Bicyclists must fight for reinstatement of the Enhancements portion of the
federal transportation bill currently under review for renewal in Congress.
If you've ever thought of making your voice heard but were waiting for
someone else to speak on your behalf, the waiting is over. We need you to
speak up now on behalf of the nation's bicycling community!

"Many strokes, though with a little axe, hew down and fell the hardest-timber'd oak." William Shakespeare

Today is Baton Rouge multisporter Mike Abshire's birthday.

How was River Cities Triathlon in northwest Louisiana? Every report I've read indicates it was one of the best ever. Way to go race director Matt Brown. I heard that the run segment was probably the best route for a triathlon run ever designed.

Tonight in Baton Rouge is the big Varsity Sport's two miler on Perkins Road near the LSU campus. It's the last of the Club South Runners summer run series and it will be one heck of a run and party. If you're in the capital city, you will want to check it out. Last Friday night was New Orleans' runners' big TGIF run and now it's the capital city runners' time. Along with Club South Runners, Jenni Peters and her gang do a great job on this event.

Speaking of running, the Club South Runners Twilight 5km, the longest
continuously held 5km in the state so I'm told, is set again for downtown
Baton Rouge on Aug. 23. Check out the details via lawired.com. This run
typically brings out lots of runners readying for the school year and
leaving after a hot summer in the semi-tropics. This is by no means your
regular old 5km trudge on a hot summer evening; this is a celebration that
congratulates all for having survived another summer training in the deep
South.

Don't forget Lafayette's Camilla Bridge Crossing 5km at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Entry
forms are on line at lafayettefitness.org .

The Games of Acadiana Triathlon is filling up fast; as of now more than 90
people have registered and it will be closed at 125. If you want to try a
triathlon and never done so before, this is the one. It involves a
200-meter pool swim (that's 4 laps) a short 10-mile bike, followed by a
2-mile run. No doubt it's a good beginner triathlon. Entry forms at
lafayettefitness.org

Lots of Acadiana multisporters will be riding Saturday at 9 a.m. from the
Star Hill fire station. I know lots of regulars take off at 8 a.m., but the
Lafayette-based bunch wants a little time to get to the Felicianas from the
Hub City.

A young woman was a victim of a hit-and-run on Louisiana Highway 307 near Thibodaux. She
was apparently hit by the passenger side mirror of a passing car at 8:30 p.m.
July 31, and later died in Charity Hospital in New Orleans. See
attached link for story in the Sunday Advocate (Baton Rouge).

For we cyclists, it means continue to be careful, ride as far as practical
on the right side of the road (except for the obvious such as sewer grates, gravel, glass etc.)
and avoid night rides. (The accident took place in late twilight. The
article gives no information regarding lights, light-colored or reflective
clothing etc.)
http://2theadvocate.com/stories/080303/pol_hit001.shtml

I just got a flyer for the Totem Pole Extreme Off-Road Triathlon in Mississippi. It's set for Hazelhurst, MS and features a half-mile swim, a 14-mile trail bike ride and a 5km trail run. The race is staged at Camp Hood. For more information, call 601/948-6111. On-line registration is available via signmeupsports.com.

Path Project on West Bank Needs Help in GNO Area

From Katie Brasted, M.A.
Many people have inquired about this Westbank bike path. Here is a way to
help. I know the time is bad for those of us who work, but if you can help,
that would be great. If you want more info on Woodlands Trail, check out
the website www.woodlandstrail.com .

Woodlands Trail and Park is having a gathering on Thursday, Aug. 7th,
from 9 a.m. to noon to stuff envelopes with a newsletter and charter
membership drive solicitation.

Chevron Oronite, John Stone Oil Distributor and Phillips Conoco has
assisted with the publication and printing of the newsletter.

We need help to get this out in an effort to raise some
operating monies as well as matching funds for the grants for which we
have received notice of pending announcement.

If you can help, let me know. Also, if you know of anyone else who may
be interested, please let them know and have them contact me at
Woodlandstrail@... . We are doing it at the address below which is
the Plaquemines Parish Government Building in Belle Chasse beside the Ferry

bike but determined it was too long for my particular fit. Paid $69.95 new,
will sell for $50 OBO. Still packaged in the box it came in with new stem
cap/bolt and instructions. Nice upgrade for a road bike or tri-bike with
clip-on bars.

2. Minoura Home Wheel Truing Stand - Nice unit in like new condition.
Perfect for the home mechanic for checking and tuning your wheels. Includes
piece to check roundness of wheels also. Retails for $49.95 new, you can
have this one for $25.

3. PARK Wheel Dishing Tool - Brand new, assembled but never used. Good
compliment to the Minoura stand above, paid $34 new, you save $10 and

Assorted Notes from Louisiana Triathletes Doing Lake Placid Ironman Race
Last Weekend
http://liveupdate.ironmanlive.com/frameset.php3?url=http://vnews.ironmanlive
.com/assets/2003results/imusares.htm

Congratulations to all those who raced the New York state-based event. Way
to go.

Kenny Dunawa;y

++++++++++
From: Llemonlawyer@...
Ironman USA was incredible!! I have alot of thank you's to go around:

First, Donnie Jarrell --you were my inspiration before and most particularly
during the race. I could not have done it without you.

Second, to all those who trained with me, including Ben, Sue, Joe, Aim�e,
Missy, Greg, Wayne, Mango, Ron, Caroline, Theresa, Salty, Darrell &
countless others -- you guys are the best! Training for this race with you
guys made preparing for this event so much fun. Joe and Cathy were extemely
generous to offer us their home for many training rides--even though I
question the legality of Joe's Ironman logo on his pool floor.

Third: to those of you who were there to cheer us on in the rain and windy
conditions for over a dozen or more hours during race day, including Donnie,
Tonya, Theresa, Aim�e, Caroline, Cathy, Missy, Sue & Waye, Cheryl, Tom, my
wife, Greg's parents, and many others, my hat is off to you. I cannot tell
you how important your being there meant to me. You guys rocked the house
every time I passed by -- so much so that I could not wait to make another
pass by your tent area. Missy and Aim�e -- I even forgive you for that
chicken dance early in the race!

I am sure that I am forgetting a whole mess of thank you! You guys ROCK!

Another note....
Well said Ron, Tony and Sue! My sentiments exactly. The support through
training and at the race is what enabled us to complete the journey.
I can't thank Hank enough for the great speech he gave at the awards
ceremony dedicating our race to Donnie. Hank was able to convey in a short
speech how much growth as a person we have all experienced and continue to
experience from having Donnie as a friend. Afterwards everyone in
attendance stood up and gave Donnie the respect he deserves. Great Job
Hank!  As always, Donnie YOU ROCK!  By the way, could you maybe get rid of
the swim portion of these races?

From Roland Land <Ronald.Land@...>
  I would personally like to thank ALL of the people who went to Lake Placid
(both racers and non-racers) for all of the support both pre-race and
during the race. Without that kind of support it would have been a long
week away from home and a loooong race. Knowing that you have friends
cheering as you go by, makes the loops shorter.  I may never do another
IM, but I highly recommend this race to everyone, as long as the you have
the support that we had. Many thanks to Captain Ben for taking his
vacation time to transport the bikes and the ton of gear that we require.

Donnie, is incredible. If I had his courage and fortitude, then I could
finally beat Sue. Donnie you ROCK!

From Aim�e Shuey
Congrats to our finishers of Ironman USA-Lake Placid.  It was a cold, rainy
day and the course looked tough- but they all stayed strong.

Another note....
Wayne "Professor Boom-Boom" del Corral didn't make it to the start line. He
had a little fall Thursday night and broke his collar bone. Ben had stomach
problems and was unable to start the run. Salty fought for a while- not sure
what his final diagnosis was.

Another note....
Oh, the video.  I must confess, the more it rained and the colder it got --
the more I drank.  I'm hoping the video didn't reflect that too much?  I'm
afraid to see how it ends.

The entire experience in Lake Placid was unbelievable and an experience of a
lifetime as a spectator. We had such an impressive group of athletes
competing and a great set up for the support crew. We set the tent up on a
corner
where the race passed 7 times! It poured several times and the wind was
gusting so hard at times I thought
the tent would be airborne. I can only imagine the stress everyone on the
course felt. Sue told us (after the race) that at one point, just when she
said
it couldn't get any worse on the bike with the high wind, heavy rain, and
STEEP
climbs -- it began to sleet. So much for that.

Donnie stayed out in the rain ALL DAY LONG to follow everyone and to give us
heads up so we could get photo and video ready.  He knew precisely when to
expect each of the racers ... which came in handy.  Hank was the only one
that
had us stumped. We must have cheered for 10 guys we thought were Hank --
until
they got up to us....  It was a riot. At one point, even the athletes were
laughing at us.

Congrats to everyone who finished and to those who tried. The course was
intimidating and everyone knew that front was coming and the weather would
suck.
That's enough to psyche a lot of people out -- but not y'all. I am so proud
of you and I wait patiently to join the ranks.....

Another note from Salty Galvis....
According to Aim�e Shuey, "Salty fought for a while -- not sure what his
final diagnosis was...."

Diagnosis:  Lack of talent; serious lack of training; and lack of prior
experience in a hilly Ironman triathlon.  The last factor allowed me to
carry too much stuff and weight in a Camelbak, which, in turn, led to back
spasms and cramps from mile two on of the first loop of the bike, which, in
turn, led to 45 minutes off the bike between loop one and loop two while I
tried to stretch out my back, stop the spasms and pain and decide whether to
to continue at all.  The only reason I continued was Donnie. Had I been
racing only for myself, I would have bailed after loop one of the bike.
Same thing after the second bike loop. By then I was cramping so badly, I
almost fell getting off the bike in transition and had to be helped to stay
upright by volunteers. Again, I went back out for the run because of Donnie
(at 5:23 p.m., seven minutes before the DQ cut-off). However, the first loop
of the run course, which was mostly walking for me, took me three hours and
25 minutes, and I crossed the 13.1-mile mat at 8:48 p.m. with nothing left.
Then it was straight to the medical tent for my usual two liters of IV
fluids.

IMUSA is an awesome race, and I learned a lot. I will go back and finish it
next time (2005 maybe?), as I did with Ironman Florida when I didn't finish
it the first time.

The team support was absolutely awesome, amazing and inspiring, and on
balance the whole experience was very positive for me and a ton of fun. Next
time we need to have a lot more TE participants and families.

"We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same." Anne Frank

Today, Wednesday, is my good friend Carter Featherston's birthday and tomorrow my long-time training buddy Terry Dupuy turns 50, focused on conquering senior Olympic competition.

I heard the Nolan Theriot Criterium for competitive cyclists was another epic Lafayette-produced event. Way to go Shane Hernandez and company! I also heard the Lake Placid Ironman was brutal, though lots of Louisiana triathletes did pretty well during challenging weather conditions. Any reports out there?

I am hearing lots of folks talking about the new Oct. 19 Conroe, TX Half Ironman. Most talk is coming from Lafayette and Baton Rouge, so I can't really say from other areas of the state. This should be a great new race and long overdue distance for this area. I just wish someone would revive a Half Ironman-distance event in Louisiana.

This is the week for Matt Brown's annual River Cities Triathlon in northwest Louisiana (I used to say Shreveport, when in fact the race is in Bossier Parish. I've been told not to call things from Bossier City Shreveport and vice versa. I am trying to learn my Louisiana "cultural" geography.). Remember, the course record was set years ago by a teenager at the time named Lance Armstrong. I think he was 17 or so when he set the record. Let's see if there someone out there who can beat the record.

Northwest Louisiana's Sunrise Triathlon Race series results are on www.sportspectrumusa.com site.
All three races are listed individually.

Family News from Fitness Folks

From Alan Moore

Don and Kathleen Wiener of Shreveport produced the latest future superstar in cycling and
triathlons when Sophie Grace arrived at 10:45 a.m. Tuesday morning.
Weighing in at 8 pounds, 10 ounces and laying/standing a full 21 inches long, she is
now on the long time trial of life and the first word out of her mouth was "GU"!
Kathleen began experiencing her contractions yesterday and went into full lactic
acid mode last night, all without a warmup on the trainer.

Congrats to the Wieners! Feel free to pile on the well-wishes to their email

The entry forms for the Atchafalaya Adventure Race (October 18 & 19, 2003)
were mailed about a week ago and we are looking forward to an exciting
event.

To open the event to more participants, there will be both a Sprint Race (4
- 7 hours, 3 person teams) and a Endurance Race (20 - 30 hours, 4 person
teams)  Both start at noon on Saturday, October 18.  They will include off
road cycling, trekking / running, canoeing and mystery events.  As always,
there will be a great  post event party, with a variety of Cajun food and
music.  If you are racing in the Sprint race, you are invited to camp at the
park and watch the conclusion of the Endurance race.

A new addition to this years race will be the "Vainqueur du Marais"
(Champion of the Swamp).  Each team will be given racing bibs (pull over
jerseys), but the returning champion will be given Le Chemise Rouge (The Red
Jersey).  At four points along the race, if the leading team changes, Le
Chemise Rouge will be given to the leading team.  In addition, we are
working on some great new prizes for the winners.

If you did not receive an entry form, please respond to this e-mail with
your mailing address or you can go to:
http://www.neworleansbowl.org/ed/bookshow.pl?actch to print an entry form
off the website (www.neworleansbowl.com).  If you would be willing to assist
in distributing entry forms in your area (a bike shop, health club, etc...),
let us know and we will send you a packet of entry forms.

Thank you.

"Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we
are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is no such things as
frozen assets." Henry Miller

Chuck George and the Crescent City-based NOTC are amazing race
administration machines! The NOTC bunch always has a solid corps of workers
and volunteers who make their events really good. I ran in my first Bonnet
Carr� Spillway trail run and what an adventure it was! More than 1,500 folks
lined up to trudge through the swamp and black mud for a truly great event.
Way to go NOTC! I haven't seen so much laughing at a "competitive" event in
a while. We all definitely need to laugh more.

Meanwhile, nearly 90 cyclists endured rain and wind to do Todd Herbet's
LaPlace time trial. That's a pretty good turn out for a poor racing day by
cycling standards. What a turnout!

Lots of great results and stories on are one of my favorite fitness sites, lafayettefitness.org, including the Caney Triathlon held recently. Where are the Shreveport Sun Rise Triathlon Series results? Also I see that the September CajunMan Triathlon is sold out. Is that right!

I'm waiting to read the reports on how Louisiana triathletes did at the Lake Placid Triathlon. Wasn't it last weekend in New York?

Baton Rouge EcoChallenge Racer Charts Course
From Darrell Henry
I wanted to pass on to you that updates on Eco Challenge
racer Barb Dutrow's progress in the Eco-Challenge North American
Championship will be posted on Baton Rouge-based Club South Runner's web
site. The race began on Sunday (July 20) and will continue until next Saturday (July 26). This was
initially scheduled to be a relatively short race (350 km) but it has
apparently been bumped up to a 450 km race). I am putting this information
directly on the Club South website (http://www.lawired.com/csr/home.htm)
rather than e-mailing this. There are no support teams, so it is difficult to
get direct information, but I can get information from a number of other
sources.

13.5 Mile USCF LaPlace Time Trial Report
From Todd Herbet
Toddherbet@...
I want to thank everyone for coming out to the time trial. It rained all
morning long, but it still did not stop 87 riders from showing up. I would
like to thank a few people who really made this event go on really
smoothly --
Robin Robert, Randy Legeai, Jeff Vega, Charlie Davis, Margaret Ponseti
(tremendous help with the scoring), Clayton Ponseti, Carl Dupre's son,
and the St. John the Baptist's Parish Sheriff's Department (Greg Maurin and
Christy Chauvin).

Congratulations to Baton Rouge rider Jay Bookman (31:22) for winning the Cat
5s and having the best time of the triathletes. Also congratulations to Baton Rouge rider
Josie Babin (32:49) and Mississippi rider Frank Moak (28:36 -- I dont know if German Rider Jan
Jullrich would of gone faster) for establishing the course records.

Finally I have to give my ride of the day to Marc Cavallino. He did a 32:13 for an average speed of 25.14 and finished third
in the cat 5s.

Subject: [ccc_online] Editorial on Riding to the Right

Hi to all, I'm hoping this doesn't come across as arrogant but someone asked me to post this item that was in the Newsletter because a printer error caused part of the article to be blocked out (it was too long anyway so maybe that was a good thing!). Ride To The Right, Please! (An Editorial Comment) The good news is that groups of bicycle riders are increasing on the North Shore, especially around the Abita Springs area. The bad news is that the number of bicyclists has reached a point that many motorists consider to be a safety hazard and a nuisance. And some motorists have even initiated activities to try and control this "problem." Bring up this discussion among a group of avid cyclists and you quickly have an argument over who is most at fault for this problem, aggressive and impatient motorists or road hogging and meandering bicyclists. As a bicyclist, I believe who is at fault is immaterial when we are on the road. As Abraham Lincoln once said "It is better to give your path to a dog, than to be bitten by him in contesting for the right, for even killing the dog would not cure the bite." If we hope to protect our freedom to ride when and where we want then we need to do a better job of sharing the road with motorists. Now, I suspect that most bicyclist who read this, if they agree that bicyclist sometimes cause unnecessary interference with traffic, are thinking they are not the bicyclist at fault. I used to believe that about myself until I started paying close attention to my riding skills. I propose that each of us take this mental challenge when we ride in a group. Every time someone signals "car back" take careful account of your position on the road. If you have to jockey to get back into single file, then you are part of the problem. Or if you look down and find that you are more than 18 inches to the left of the white (fog) line at the edge of the road, then you are part of the problem. Since I wrote this the Thunderhead Alliance email group has been inundated with emails expressing exactly the opposite advice, that it is safer to take the entire lane than to hug the right side and allow cars to "squeeze by" and even insisting that groups of riders should always ride two abreast, that that shortens the length of the group of riders that cars must pass and so is both safer for the cyclists and less inconvenient for the cars. If you have a different opinion than mine you might consider sending an editorial to the Newsletter publisher! By the way, even after writing about staying to the right, I found myself near the center of the road going around a bend and I to swerve to the right to avoid an oncoming car. That just shows that it is hard to always practice what you preach ;-). Daniel S. Swords [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

"Let your hook be always cast. In the stream where you least expect it,
there will be a fish." Ovid

I hope everyone took time to celebrate Bastille Day this week as Lance Armstrong and Tyler Hamilton show the French what it is to be an American. Okay, okay, enough flag waving....

Check out Baton Rouge triathlete Philip Baker's perspective on the recently
held Coeur d'Alene Triathlon in Idaho where he won his age group and entry
to the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon.

I wonder how triathletes would react if they were required to have their
own, individual racing score chip for the Louisiana Triathlon at New Roads?
I'm just floating trial balloons.

Bo Bo Anderson's bike shop is having its grand opening this Friday in Opelousas. By the way, he crashed at the Caney Triathlon in Minden over the weekend (he's okay), which means he must buy new tri shorts! It was my first Caney Triathlon and I give it high marks for a great, well-managed event at a stellar venue.

It's time for the mud run, better known as 16th Annual�Great Spillway Classic Trail Run� through the Bonne Carr� Spillway. It's a three-mile trail run set for Sunday, July 20, 2003, in the town of Norco not far from New Orleans and just down the road from LaPlace where the cycling time trial takes place (on the same day). Runner's World magazine has given this event lots of attention and some have called it the �largest trail run in the South.�

Just an early week reminder of the upcoming track race at the Baton Rouge Velodrome this Saturday, July 19. Details can be found at: http://www.gnofn.org/~nobc/2003/trkser6.htm

A little comic relief for all you runners out there:

Senior Olympic Notes on Arkansas Event
From David Glenn
For all you 50+ aged guys and gals ... checkout the Arkansas Senior Games.

The 40km and 20km road race course is not flat ... and the local guys can
get up those hills. It is really a nice course (starts at a state park
southeast of Hot Springs) except that it is out and back with a turnaround.
40km Saturday/20km Sunday makes for a nice weekend.

Louisiana Input Sought on National Cycling Trail
From Daniel S. Swords
The Mississippi River Trail, Inc. (a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization) is
developing a bicycle route from Minnesota through Louisiana. The organizers
are looking for help in Louisiana. They need cyclists to verify the routes
they have selected for Louisiana. You can help by either bicycling or
driving the chosen routes or by reviewing the selected routes based on
personal knowledge of the area.

This is an opportunity to improve cycling in our state. If you are
interested and would like more information check out their web site at
http://www.mississippirivertrail.org or call Bill Keller at 504/ 283-4484.

If you are able to help or have ideas for other ways that we can support
this action I am interested so if you have time email me so I can keep up
with this activity.

MFS's Dylan Jason Makes Mark at Nationals
From Alan Moore
Young Dylan Jason of the Baton Rouge-based Miles for Smiles bike racing team
(MFS), made his mark from Louisiana in the boy's 13-14 criterium at the
Junior Nationals held recently at Texas A&M. He was the only Louisiana
resident at the championships of whom I'm aware and, though dropped early,
he was persistent and rode very hard (and wasn't lapped!). I hope he sticks with
it, 'cause he looks like he can be a very strong rider with more experience to come as he gets
older.

Categories Added for Nolan Theriot Criterium in Acadiana

From Shane Hernandez

We will add Masters 50+ medals (three deep) for the LA/MS Criterium

race nor is separate 50+ LAMBRA points being given out. We will just pick
the top 50+ LA/MS riders in the Masters 35+ race.

Louisiana Premier Event Management Putting on Olympic Triathlon Trials

This week it was confirmed by Steve Locke from USA Triathlon that Premier Event Management from Metairie,
Louisiana has been selected to produce the two Olympic Triathlon Trials
events for the United States Triathlon team heading into the Athens Summer
Olympic Games for 2004. The third selection will be made at the 2004 World
Triathlon Championships in Madeira, Portugal.

Both bids were chosen by USA Triathlon from a group of five turned in
and our two host cities were selected for a number of reasons. The main
reason is they both offer competitors a very difficult bike course as part
of the events which mimics the Athens course for the Olympic Triathlon .
The first venue will be Honolulu on April 18, 2004 with the elite event
circling the Diamond Head Volcano five times on the bike course which
offers two very hard steep climbs. The second event will be from the
Bakers Breakfast Cookie International Triathlon from Bellingham, WA on June
13, 2004 offers a 18 percent climb that competitors must maneuver 6 times over the
course of 40km . This event is highlighted on the cover of the August Issue
of Triathlete magazine, so check it out.

Premier Event Management owner Bill Burke said, "On behalf of the entire staff at Premier Event Management I want
to thank every local athlete that has ever done one of our events over the
past 10 years. It's because of your support through the years that has
given us the ability to move our company in this direction."

Mississippi Triathlon Report

From Darius Sampey

Dallas and I went to Meridian this weekend and did the Sunfish Triathlon. It was probably one of the best venues I have ever done a triathlon at. The lake was very nicely set in some very hilly pine woods. There were about 250 racers at this event. The competition was very stiff at this race as it was the Southeast regional club championship. The swim started out like a Time Trial instead of waves or mass start. That was different and made it really impossible to gauge where you were. I just had to run my own race and go as hard as I could. I registered the night before so I started 243rd. A racer started every 5 seconds on the swim. It was kind of interesting standing on the bank watching everyone go.

The bike was really hilly. There were lots of trees and some really nice long bridges on the lake. It was a 21-mile loop around the lake. Every time you crossed a bridge you could look to the end and see the road going up, very up. Used lowest gear I had several times. The five-mile run was just as hilly. The first couple of miles were not too bad then you came around a corner and headed up a fairly steep hill for about a half mile. At the top was the turn around. When you returned to the park they sent down along the base of the dam, then at about mile four you reached the end of the dam and had to go up a very steep climb to the top of the dam then finish the last mile in along the top of the dam. There was an aid station with water at the top. I told one of the volunteers the that hill was "just wrong" in that spot. She laughed, gave me water and said "finish line that way, one mile."

There were lots of great volunteers and food at this race. We were all given a meal ticket good for a complete BBQ lunch plate. All in all a very nice race that I would recommend to anyone, especially if you want to go up against some of the best in the Southeast region. I had been finishing around 14th to 17th overall in Mandeville races, but only managed 35th at this race. Ouch!! Them hills are rough on us flatlanders! Starting 243rd I know how it felt to continuously say, "On your left".

Bike Race Volunteer Earl Smith Still Recovering

From Glenn Deimel [pensacola55@...]

Here is the latest on Earl Smith, a long-time bike race volunteer who was a fixture at the Jackson, LA museum in the Felicianas. He is able to walk, but to what extent,
I don't know. The hospital in Tampa is in the process of looking for
placement. I believe they are looking in Minden, and in Jackson at the
Louisiana War Veterans Home.

He is also able to talk. If you wanted to call, his number is
813/631-6174. That is the number in his room. He is out of the room
frequently. If there is no answer, you can use the main number,
813/972-2000 and they can locate him.

Book Started on Triathlon Adventures in Louisiana

From Barry Lanigham

This past winter I started writing a book about my early exploits in triathlon. I'm concentrating on the first years when our little group were having fun and still learning the sport of triathlon before it became so serious. The first five chapters are a "work in progress" and are posted on the www.tri-specialties.com website under "But I Can't Swim." Have fun reading.

That's it from here. Bless God, America.

T-Gator Triathlon #3, Lake Charles
600meters/15miles/ 2.5miles

Trail Adventure Quest, Mandeville

I hear the Sunrise Triathlon series in Shreveport is going well, but I've gotten no reports. I know the T-Gator Series is off to a great first year in the Lake Charles area. The AbitaMan Triathlon became a duathlon last Sunday; anyone got details on why the change? Dare I speculate?

The mid-week running series put on by clubs all over the state are going well. I know my home Club South Runners series is tonight starting from the Farr Horse Park where we start our Tuesday/Thursday pack rides. Speaking of pack rides in Baton Rouge, we had a special treat last night when John Deshotel and Jason Hurling showed up to join the group. They couldn't handle the awful Aussie, Troy Porter. He's riding strong than ever and probably powered by the fact that the Aussies are riding hard in the Tour de France (and winning big in tennis, too). It was nice to see Troy's very different wife Lisa out with the more moderate group on the River Road.

Barry Laningham of Lake Charles is writing a book on his early years of triathloning. You can see the first five chapters on Mark and Diane Tarver's Tri-Specialties web site.

New Cycling Book Out by Lance Armstrong
From Daniel
Just in time for the Tour deFrance 2003, here is link to the first chapter
of Lance Armstrong's new book Every Second Counts.
http://www.lancearmstrong.com/lance/online2.nsf/html/chapter1

I am sure that most of you read his first book It's not about the
Bike, but if you haven't you really need to read it. It is one of
the most inspirational books that I have ever read.

Louisiana Young Cyclists Representing State Well
From Alan Moore of Shreveport
Shannon Koch of Team LaS'port based in Shreveport has completed her run at the 2003 Junior National Cycling Road Championships this weekend, collecting a lot of hardware and another addition to her wardrobe. Participating in the Women's 15-16 age group, she collected a stars-and-stripes jersey in the road race, a 2nd place in the time trial, and a 3rd place in the criterium race (held on the Texas A&M campus today). Going into the event Shannon was hoping for wins in the TT and the crit, her strongest events, and a decent showing in the road race. Instead the exact opposite happened. In the road race, she came from 10 places back to sprint past the field winning by a bike length. In the criterium, she initiated a
7-rider break that destroyed the rest of the field. Several attempts to split up that group failed and it came down to a finishing sprint to the line.

With 100 meters to go she barely missed a series of barricades that were set
up to funnel the riders to the finish and that hesitation slowed her down,
but she recovered enough to move back up to take third while rapidly catching the back wheel
of winner Kimberly Geist of Pennsylvania.

See complete results at:
http://www.veloresults.com/Results_Junior_Road/

and other reports at:

She was interviewed by cyclingnews.com after her win on Saturday and that
should be up in a day or two.

Biloxi Set for Mad Potter's Bike Ride/A Criterium Race
Saturday, July 12, 2003 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. is set for the Mississippi
Gulf Coast cycling criterium. This is an exciting bike event for the entire
family. Racing activities are in Biloxi, MS on the grounds of the Mississippi Coast Colisieum. Go to
www.madpottersride.com for more info.

LaPlace Time Trial Set July 20
From Todd Herbet of Chalmette
It all starts at 8:30 a.m. in the heart of St. John the Baptist Parish at
Interstate 10 and Louisiana Highway 51 exit. The specially-laid-out course
is an out-and-back set out on smooth and what some call fast pavement.

To register, be there from 6:30 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. ready to shell out $20 for
USA Cycling members and add another $10 if you aren't a member. Race
categories include: Cat 123, Cat 4, Cat 5, Masters 35+, Women, Juniors

The course itself will actually be closer to 13 miles instead of 14. We
will have road closure thanks to the St. John's Parish sheriffs office. There will be minute intervals
between each rider. Parking will be on a side road to the right of the start area. We are working with a time
constraint so don't be late signing up. Even though we have road closure be
aware of cars which may mysteriously appear on the course. The start order
will be women, juniors, cat 5, masters 35+cat 4 and 123's. Approved
helmets must be worn in case anyone is wondering. You can contact me via
email or at 504/780-2453 with any questions.

Lost Equipment in Baton Rouge
From Larry Slupianek
I was running at the Lakes on Sunday, July 6, around 3:00 PM. I
accidentally left my chest heart rate monitor and strap (Polar Protrainer
XT) near the parallel parking area at BR Beach, close to the pull-up bars
and right at the start-finish mark. I went back immediately after I
remembered that I had left it, but it was gone. I checked the area closely,
including the restroom/pavilion area, but to no avail.

If someone should happen to find it and call the store, Club South Runners,
or others, I wanted to let you know who the lost owner is. I can be reached at
225/977-6534. Thanks!

Velodrome Racing Report
From Will Cheramie
Thanks go out to David Alexander and Steve Zeringue for putting on another
great event at the Velodrome this past Saturday. Match sprints seem to be a neglected
event lately, but the multi elimination format really did provide for some
great spectating and good training.

Having a race on a holiday weekend can be a blessing or a curse, but it
would seem that the Red Stick Sprint Omnium drew a pretty good crowd
(considering the 2:30 p.m. thunderstorm it was just right).

All of the LSU cycling guys had a great time, as did those that came out to
watch the racing. I was surprised to not see any of the Red Stick track guys
out there; Lorenzo B. walked away with the masters win (as he was the only
one). I know the John Sanford Express, Kent "the finger" Payne, Dick
EZ-Erlicher or even David "the sprint" Glen would have perhaps given Lorenzo more to whine
about than being paired against me in the first round. I'm usually at the
Tarpon Rodeo myself, so I can understand the Apsey boys being absent.

NOBC had 6 riders, MFS had 4, LSU had 3 Herring had one rider. July 19th
is the next track event, I hope to see the Red Stick Racers out on the

Cyclists Recovering; Offer Thanks
From Glen & Mika
Words cannot describe what Mika and I have been through the past couple of
weeks. Mika and I want to let you all know that we are OK and we thank you
for you love and support. We just received a beautiful Spath plant with
lilies and roses from GNOTri. We truly appreciate the gestures and concern from talks of a tree planted in
Mika's name to the phone calls to the plant.

Even though Mika's injuries are severe she is positive and hopeful. Even
though there are still no guarantees that she will be able to walk, she is
determined to work hard with whatever the Lord chooses to give to her.

For those who are wondering, she sustained an L1 burst fracture with severe
spinal cord and/or spinal nerve compression. She also sustained a non
displaced right pelvic fracture and some nasty abrasions and facial
lacerations. Decompression surgery and stabilization was successful as far
as removing any compression on the nerves. She began rehab three days ago
and we are finding that her level of fitness has really helped accelerate
her rehab. Her abdominal and upper body strength are remarkable and has and
will serve her well if lower extremity, afferent and efferent function do
not return.

God bless you all and thanks for the prayers and concern.

me, although the rehab unit at Touro in New Orleans is very good and
so is the doctor who runs it, Mika has a long tough road 'a

Cycling Track Races in Baton Rouge at the Velodrome On Perkins Road

I do apologize for last week's multiple messages for many of you. I had some
internet server problems and didn't realize the enewsletter was going out
multiple times. I've got so much to learn about internet communication. Hang
in there with me. Truly, you won't offend me if you choose to withdraw from
the list. I'm just having fun trying to keep fitness folks in touch with one
another across the state.

Cotton States Triathlon just sent out flyers for an Aug. 16th race in the little town of Lake Provident in the far northeastern corner of the state. Call 318/559-2041 for more information or go to cottonstatestriathlon@.... This is one of the state's oldest triathlons held in an oxbox lake off the Mississippi River.

I've long been concerned that -- more often than not --- talk radio breeds more ignorance than information. That happened last week when some goof ball disc jockeys (Walton and Johnson) on a clear chanel radio station moaned that lycra-clad cyclists are holding them up in their driving. They wondered out loud about just "bumping" these cyclists off the road. Thankfully New Orleans cyclist Ken Bellau alerted the fitness community and the clear radio station management has been bombarded with mail about the irresponsibility of even such subtle suggestions of "bumping" cyclists off the road and out of motorists way.

Once again the fitness community must stay alert to attacks on our hobby and get involved to let folks know that we are tax-paying, voting members of our towns and state. Everyone's opinion counts unless you offer no opinion.

PelicanMan Duathlon Set for St. Bernard Parish

Update on Injured New Orleans Area Cyclists
From Mike Morin, MD
I see the note on the Bodet's and the bike accident they had in New Orleans
metro on Sunday, June 22. I swim with them a couple times a week, and have
gotten to visit with them at the hospital this week. Mika is now at Touro Hospital and there are no other changes at this time. They say she's still super positive. She's in room 940B, 504/897-7197.

There is a bit of a "typo" on the note in your enewsletter from Aim�e Shuey.
Cyclist Glenn Bodet of New Orleans does not have spinal cord injury, he has
a couple of minor compression fractures of his upper lumber vertebral
bodies, but is doing well! He has no spinal cord injury. Mika is, as noted
however, with paralysis of both legs at this time. She also has a right
pelvis fracture that may not need surgery, thankfully. Mika would much
appreciate prayer for her and Glenn.

Tour de Louisiane Gets National Ink

By Adam Hamza

He is young, talented, blessed, confident, and when called for, courageous. At 21 years old Mat Stephens of Gulf Coast Cycling Association is starting to make a name for himself and his team in regional races around the South Central United States.

Only two weeks after defending his Texas State Points Race Championship the boy is on a role. Just this past weekend he was instrumental in derailing Herring Gas's (out of Mississippi) strangle hold of the Tour of Louisiana. Herring Gas has won this race for the last 3 years consecutively and the majority of the last 10 years. "Our goal was to make it tough on them and see what might happen." Mat's teammate George Pou said.

Baton Rouge Swim Clinic Set for July 26 at 7 a.m.

From Susan Hayden

Our first freestyle stroke clinic met with rave reviews this morning. Thanks to all the coaches, including our own BRTRi members, Miah Broussard and Pat Fellows.

The second freestyle clinic is scheduled for July 26th, (Saturday), 7 a.m.
� 9 a.m. at Ketchum Fitness Center Pool in Baton Rouge. The pool is
located off of Bluebonnet I-10 exit. Maps will be forwarded to out of town
participants upon request.

However, please note some changes that will be incorporated into the
second clinic:
1) Registration: the cost of the July 26th clinic is $25 per person,
checks should be made out to Crawfish Aquatics but mailed to:
Susan Hayden
950 Woodgate Blvd
Baton Rouge, LA 70808.

The money is non-refundable if you reserve a spot and do not show up. Please mail the check immediately after notifying me of your wish for a spot in the clinic. The next clinic is almost full already.
Registration is via email so supply me with a contact phone number, if
you haven�t already, and an emergency contact number if you are not a
member of BRTRi or Crawfish.

2) Format: The swimmers were screaming for more this morning so we�ve
extended the clinic time to two hours. This will give the swimmers a bit
more supervised practice time and will accommodate the second change in
format: Bring a blank video tape with you to the clinic. We are going
to try and tape swimmers with the underwater camera. There is no
substitute for seeing for yourself what you do in the water. Each
swimmer will go home with the tape we film in the clinic. Even with the
coaches in the water it is easier to convey certain concepts to a
swimmer if they can see themselves doing it.

Some notes about what was accomplished in the first clinic. First,
Rick Meador, Masters Coach of Crawfish Aquatics, introduced himself and
the other six coaches. All of the coaches range from accomplished
competitive swimmers (State/National/Masters) or are accomplished local
age group coaches. Shelly Ripple then entered the water and demonstrated
four drills that aid in the improvement of the freestyle stroke. Shelly
demonstrated an easy freestyle and a race pace freestyle over the length
of the 50-meter pool. Shelly is a world class swimmer and still holds
several National Records. She is also one of the coaches for the clinic.

The swimmers then broke out into groups based on swimming experience
over the eight lanes; new swimmers (anyone swimming for less than one year),
beginner swimmers (two years or less), intermediate swimmers (three to four years),
advanced/Masters swimmers, etc. The coaches worked with the swimmers in
their lane, doing drills, discussing technique in the shallow part of
the pool, demonstrating, doing whatever was helpful to get the swimmers
more fine tuned or aware of what was required in swimming freestyle
efficiently.

Lastly, a handout was given to each swimmer to remind them of the things
covered in the clinic (drills and descriptions). Rick closed with some
mental tips about approaching swimming and encouragement for swimmers to
work on their information they received at the clinic. A throng
gathered immediately to sign up for the next clinic! Donuts and water
were provided (Krispy Cr�me is our local BRTRi club sponsor).

Email me if you want in! susan@rshayden
P.S. Some people requested a clinic of this type to improve their other
strokes (breast/back/butterfly). Before you poo-poo the idea as it does
not specifically relate to triathlons you should consider the other
strokes an excellent way to do some conditioning on other muscle groups.
This will add some variety to your swim workouts, strengthen some other
muscle groups and improve your freestyle. This type of clinic is an
excellent way to learn the other strokes if you don't know them. If you
are interested in doing this contact me and let me know. If enough
people want it, we can probably do it.

"Heal the past, live the present, dream the future." Mary Engelbreit

The Lake Charles-based he Lake Area Runners is hosting the Lorraine Bridge
5km this Saturday in the community of Hayes. More info at
www.lakearearunners.com

Also, there will be a two-mile K-9 run from the Lake Charles Civic Center on
July 5. Of course lots of towns are sponsoring July 4th runs of all sorts and distances. Check out local road running web sites.

The Caney Triathlon in Minden is July 13 and Florida's Santa Rosa Island Tri
near Pensacola is the same day in September as Gatorman Tri in Lake Charles.

Lots of folks are preparing for a 10km swim (that's right, 6.2 miles!) in Baton Rouge in October and using it as a base to do a five-mile open-water swim in St. Croix in October.

Saturday, March 6, 2004 is the date of the next Baton Rouge Race for the
Cure 5km. There will be no Baton Rouge Race for the Cure in 2003.

July 6th is set for the AbitaMan #4 Triathlon on the Northshore in
Fontainebleau State Park starting at 7 a.m. It's a 800m swim, 30km, bike and a
5km run. See

www.abitaman.com.

Baton Rouge Multisporter and distance runner Frances Ard, 65, died on
Saturday. A Mississippi native, she was at the top of the class of
grandmasters fitness competitors and held her share of senior Olympic
running records. She fought stomach cancer and assorted complications
stemming from her cancer and in her last days really battled for life. She
was a fixture in the Baton Rouge area fitness community and was a lively
volunteer and encouraging to all those racing or participating. She
volunteered and helped at races whether she herself raced or not.

From Guy Labb�
It was through Frances Ard that I met my wife, Althea. Frances was a
special lady. If you ran with her, which I did a great deal in training for
NYC marathon in 1990, you could bet you weren't going to cut any corners: 5
miles was 5 miles and 10 miles was 10 miles. In her sickness I witnessed her
faith her God and her dedication to her family, especially her grandson,
whom she and her husband were raising. We'll all miss her a lot.

LaPlace Cycling Time Trial Set for July
From Steve Sperrier
On July 20th there will be a 14-mile time trial in LaPlace. This would be a
good time to see where multisporters rank in the cycling world. As
triathletes we are all experienced in time trialing and we should do well.
Check out www.gnofn.org/~nobc/schedule.htm for all the details. Also, we
need to bring the beer and the party with us. The last cycling time trial I
participated in had no party supplies. For more information, call
985/727-7211/www.gnofn.org/~nobc/schedule.htm or

New Orleans Cyclists Hit by Motorist
From Aim�e Shuey and Johanna Leibe
Glen & Mika Bodet were hit by a car while riding this weekend. They are
both in Charity -- Mika is in ICU and is reportedly paralyzed from the waist
down. Please both Mika and Glen in your prayers.

Glen is in a regular room and hopes to be discharged soon. They did surgery
to repair the damage to Mika's spine -- she now feeling through her knees
but is still unable to move. She's got several cuts on her face (and may
need further surgery to repair those). She was in great spirits -- making
jokes about not coming to work or finishing her 50-mile bike ride.

Glen had some spinal cord injury -- not as severe. He's in leg and back
braces and pretty cut up, too.

According to my friends, Glen told them that they were riding on Chef Highway
in the New Orleans area -- coming back from Venetian Isles 30 miles into the
ride. A distracted motorist hit them. Mika was behind Glen and took more of
the impact. Glen's family is at the hospital. Mika's dad and sister were on
their way from Canada.

Notes from Pro Triathlete Mike Pigg's Workshop in BR
From Lacey James
Here's my summary from the notes I took at the Mike Pigg Triathlon Workshop
in Baton Rouge. I attended the Friday night mental training session and the
nutrition and training tips session on
Saturday (and Crawfish boil). Of course, I mostly took notes on what
applied to me so this is not all inclusive (forgive the paraphrasing).

Mental Training
Each individual has to find what works for him or her. Some
folks are naturally laid back, some very high energy, and some are in
between. You have to structure your pre-race routine to support whatever
type of individual you happen to be. Don't hang out with super high
energy people if you need to relax. Don't waste your adrenaline before
the race. Maintain a "calm focus" and wait until just before the race to
let yourself get charged up. Prepare 100 percent for a race. Get there early
(he gets to a race two days beforehand for a sprint/Olympic distance race)
and check out all legs of the course. Know your course. Experience will
help. As you do more races, you gather information about what works and
doesn't work for you.

Nutrition
You are eating wrong. This may not be strictly true for each
of you reading this but since you live in Louisiana the odds are you
aren't eating as healthy as you should. Eat to live and don't shorten
your life with hydrogenated oils. Throw out the margarin/butter/processed
foods and get back to natural foods. Find out if you are a carb-burning
machine or need protein to keep you going. Some folks can maintain their
weight eating lots of carbs; others need to substitute more protein
(these folks only crave more carbs if they eat a high carb diet). Trust
your intuition about what makes your body feel good. You have to
experiment to find out what works, if you eat lots of carbs try stepping
away from a high carb diet for a week to see the effect it has on your
body, etc. Best time to eat carbs is right after a workout. A question
was fielded regarding Accelerade/Endurox. Mike suggested having these
types of drinks early during an Ironman race. Mike's rule: he eats
sweets as long as he doesn't buy them (he asks his wife to not buy
Oreo's since he will eat them if they are in the house). What he eats
depends on what training he has planned -- see below. Try hard to eat
unprocessed foods (fresh fruit, vegetables). Try to stay away from
highly cooked proteins, add fish, nuts and variety to your diet.

Sample Mike Pigg Day
Smoothie
7 a.m. Run/Swim
3 eggs/toast/veggie juice
50-mile bike ride -- on bike carry WATER, sports drink, energy bars,
simple sugars. A big mistake people make is not carrying variety on the
bike to ensure you have choices that your body will tolerate during any
given ride. Water should always be one of them.
Protein shake/Open face tuna sandwich (Mike is a person that needs to
add protein to his diet, not strictly carbs)

Salt: take in salt gradually. Through experience find out what your body
needs and how much fluid it loses during a workout. On a Half Ironman he
suggested taking in salt one hour into the bike ride if it's hot. He
sucks on the salt pill slowly while sipping water. Don't put salt bombs in
your stomach by taking lots at once.
Exercise induced asthma: Mike used a product by Lily (sodium chloride
1-2g). It opened his lungs. But everyone is different. You may want to
experiment.
Suggested a product called Leppin might be good (available through John
Cobb of Shreveport)
He reiterated that you have to find out what works for your body although
you can get lots of information about what things to try through talking
to other triathletes.

Training Tips
Get a heart-rate monitor and make sure you've trained
your body to burn fat as fuel by building a solid aerobic base. This
entails a long period of training in your aerobic zone and never leaving
it. Get in touch with your feminine side (you guys, not including Chip).
This was hard for Mike's ego when he undertook to change his training
this way (after a long talk with Dr. Maffetone). It can mean not riding
with your regular group (competitive juices get flowing and suddenly you
are redlining your heart rate). Your entire workout should be in your
aerobic zone even if it means walking during your run or zigzagging a
hill you used to cycle straight up. Every time you leave your aerobic
zone for a higher zone you become less and less efficient at burning fat
when you return to your aerobic zone. Dr. Maffetone suggests it takes 24
hours for your system to "reset" to being efficient at burning fat again
once you've switched over to burning glycogen. Max heart rate is roughly
180 minus your age but some folks do not conform to this rule (some are
hummingbirds and have very high max heart rates, some are tortoises and
have very low max heart rates). [Susan's Note: go to www.trinewbies.com
and look at the 18 week Half Ironman training program I used -- it has
Maffetones formula and will tell you how to determine your zones
although this information can be found in many tri books]. Mike's
message -- get faster at a lower heart rate. This maximizes your
potential as an athlete and is essential for longer distance races (Half
or Full Ironman).

Recovery workouts should be active but light workouts, easy swims, easy
runs, spinning lightly. GET REST - nine hours of sleep a night. After you've
put in a long aerobic phase (and you may plateau a bit on your times)
then add some anaerobic work, max of three times a week with active recovery
days in between.

Stretching
Make sure you are stretching adequately. Four, 45-minutes
sessions a week of stretching is what he'd do if he could change his
early training years. Add LOTS of core work, pilates, core workouts.
Weights are essential for the aging athlete. They are hard to
incorporate as they make you feel like crap for your other training but
you need to do it.

Lastly, adding variety to your workouts and adding mini-goals will help
you achieve your larger goals.

P.S.

The Party at the home of Steve and Jan Ripple's (Louisiana's premier pro triathlete) house was excellent. A giant
thank you to them for putting this together. Extend your gratitude to them when you get a
chance. This email was sent to: jlaceyjames@...

Elephant Walk Triathlon Alternative Set for Sept. 14
From Michael Burgess
I have participated in the Demolition Man Triathlon at Destin a few times.
It is usually the same day as River Cities Triathlon. It is a short quarter-mile swim,
10-mile ride and 3-mile run. Do know that when I last looked the web site to
confirm before I sent this to you I see the date is on hold. Here is the
current info from http://www.dragonsports.net/

State Looking from Input from Cyclists

From Louis Leonard "Salty" Galvis

On Tuesday, I attended the kick-off meeting of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's one-year project to produce Louisiana's first State Bicycle Suitability Map.

The project is intended to result (in about a year) in the publication of a Louisiana Bicycle Suitability Map, which will feature roads suitable for traversing the state on bicycles. Similar maps published for Arizona, Florida, California, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Maine were passed around at the meeting to demonstrate what sort of map is planned for Louisiana. Contractors retained by the DOTD to research, develop and design the map announced that they would be seeking input from cyclists and cycling clubs/groups throughout the state regarding recommended corridors and roads to be included on the map. No particular routes were announced, but clearly the intention is to feature routes across the state linking cities throughout the state and linking the state to other states. The concept also anticipates the inclusion of regional, local or area tour routes, parks, etc.

If any of you has any suggestions for routes, corridors, roads, etc. that you would like to see included on the map, you can send those to Sharon Leader by e-mail at swl@...; by mail at swLEADERinc., 6224 Milne Boulevard, New Orleans, LA 70124-2016; or by facsimile at 504/486.0230.

From Cathie Koss

CRKOSS@...

I just wanted to let you know that Frances Ard passed away Saturday morning June 21. The funeral arrangements hsould be in the Baton Rouge Advocate newspaper on June 22, Sunday.

The wake will probably be in Zachary on Sunday evening, June 22 and the funeral will probably be Monday in Norwood, a small town located between Zachary and Centerville, MS.

From Kenny Dunaway

Frances had been fighting for life for sometime and in recent months living had become ever more difficult for her. She was a long-time distance runner and triathlete who lived and trained in the greater Baton Rouge area. She raced across the country and did her share of triathlons ranging from half-IronMan distance events to much shorter ones. A couple of years ago she was diagnosed with stomach cancer and an assortment of complications stemming from the cancer she fought.

Deeply involved in the fitness community in Baton Rouge, Frances was very competitive in her age group competitons but did lots to help race directors and organizers present and market fitness events. There is a wonderful picture of Frances on the Club South Runners web site showing her with a birthday cake.

The fitness community in the capital city especially and no doubt those whom she touched in her own wonderful way around the world will miss her smiling, shining face.

How are the area mid-week summer running race series going? Are folks behaving on the pack rides these days? Check out the beaucoup photos on the India Creek Triathlon web site; whoever the photographer was he did a great job.

June 28th Youth Track Meet Set in Lafayette
There is a state track meet at Lafayette High on June 28th. This meet is for
kids ages 7-14 and is to qualify for a regional meet and then the national
meet. Organizers are expecting 1,000 participants and are in need of

Sunfish Triathlon Set
From Bill of GNOTri
Sunfish Triathlon is the USA Triathlon Southeast Regional Club Championship
race. Even though GNOTRI is not in that region, last year we were recognized
do to our large turnout. For those who are planning to participate, please
don't forget to list GNOTRI under the club name.

This is a great race. The swim is a time trial start (a person starts every
five seconds), the bike has a couple hills and the run is brutal but rewarding.
If I remember correctly, I think it was a BYOB........

Open-Water Swim Accident Settlement Made After 3 Years

From Barry Laningham

Finally after three years, the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury has settled with Mary Jo Wall, the widow of deceased triathlete Ken Wall of Lake Charles who was killed at the I-210 Beach on Labor Day morning by a boater cutting through the swimming area of the beach. I am glad that Mary Jo and her children, Mallory and Madison, will be provided for but the issue of swimmer safety at the public beaches has not been settled.

It is shameful that the Police Jury is considering closing the beach to the public or just putting up a sign, "Swim At Your Own Risk." Why punish the public, instead of admitting a mistake and improving the safety of a public swim area? As part of the settlement, Mary Jo as offered to help fund the safety improvements to the swim area.

There has been concern that a boat and/or the motor may get damaged by a floating rope and buoy system. No motor boat has any business being within the confines of a swimming area. Any person operating a motor craft, at any time into a buoyed swimming area, should be held fully liable to a "No Tolerance" law. There are no tolerance policies at our schools with fighting and weapons, why not motor boats going into swimming areas? The cost of repair to a boat or motor is nothing when compared to the cost of lost of life of a man, woman, or child. Louisiana lawmakers should take the lead in the nation and enact laws that are designed to protect swimmers from boaters and make the penalties more severe than the "misdemeanor" that is currently in place. A motorcraft in a swimming area is a deadly weapon.

The boater that killed Ken has not come forward to take responsibility for his deadly action when given the chance by the local authorities, but judgement day will come one day.

I had a blast at the Indian River Triathlon, but I confess my thoughts often
drifted to what was going on at the Du Donnie Du on the Northshore. From all
the reports I read, the Du Donnie Du was a huge success and testimony to the
generosity of those in our hobby. It is so incredible to see multisporters,
cyclists, runners, swimmers and athletes in general who unite to help a
friend in the sport when he's struggling. The race was held to raise funds
for multisporter Donnie Jarrell who has been diagnosed with Lou-Gehrig's
Disease.

Indian River Triathlon race director Brad Colwell was concerned that the Du
Donnie Du might result in a low turnout for his race in central Louisiana.
But he had a bigger turnout than his first year last year! No doubt more and
more are entering multisporting ranks with enough room in the mix to
accommodate at least a couple tris or dus each weekend.

Any word on how the duathlon in Shreveport went last weekend?

With the huge response to the River Cities Triathlon year in and year out,
there is talk of another Louisiana triathlon taking place that same weekend
in Toledo Bend to accommodate those who want to race the weekend of the
River Cities Triathlon but find they can't since the field sells out so fast
(this year's sold out in a day and a half!). The thought about the proposed
Toledo Bend race is to have it on Saturday for those who couldn't get in to
the Sunday River Cities and make it possible for the really hard core coming
from here, there, and everywhere to get two Louisiana triathlons in on the
same weekend. Well, we'll see how the proposed Toledo Bend triathlon shapes
up for August of 2004.

The date for the Lake Charles 2 Miler K-9 Run/Pet Walk is set for Saturday,
July 5th at 7:30 a.m. for the runners and 8 a.m. for the fun run and pet
walk. There were really great trophies last year and organizers intend on
doing the same this year. Entry fee is $15 -- pre registration is due by
June 20th and the money goes straight to Calcasieu Parish Animal Control's
Adoption Program.

Results of last Sunday's Du Donnie Du have been placed on the Donzaroo
website: http://www.donzaroo.com/du/du_res.htm
http://www.donzaroo.com

Check out the book When Big Boys Tri via whenbigboystri.com. I learned about
it at the Indian River Triathlon in Rapides Parish. Don't forget, too, that
on June 13 bobozone.com opens and tells all about the new bike shop in
Opelousas.

I got my packet in for the Atlanta Peach Tree 10km race set for July 4. This
race is expecting some 60,000 participants! You should see this pre-race,
U.S.-mailed packet. Talk about details -- this race must be an
administrative booger bear extraordinaire.

Online registration for the September CajunMan Triathlon set for Lafayette is now open. Go to lafayettefitness.org.

June 11th Remembered with Memorial Ride in BR

From Amy Alexander

There will be a ride to commemorate the lives of Baton Rouge cyclists Steve Seiden
and Timmy Cappo, who were killed in an accident on River Road just south of the capital city one year ago. It is at Farr Horse Park in Baton Rouge at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 11. We will say a few words
about them, then ride to the accident site. Their families will be there. If you can make it, we'd love to see you.

Spillway Classic in Norco Set July 20
From Chuck George, ChuckNOTC@...
The Classic 3 Mile Trail Run is set Sunday, July 20, 2003 at the Bonnet
Carre Spillway boat launch pavilion in Norco. It's the second largest "Trail
Run" in the USA. For information visit the New Orleans Track Club's website
at www.runNOTC.org

Trail Run Adventure Set July 13 at Fountainbleau State Park
From Mark Salvetti
Ready for something completely different? Always at the forefront of the
next "new" sport, we've come up with something new. How about the first
annual Central Progressive Bank's Trail Run Adventure Quest to be held
Sunday July 13, 2003 at Fountainebleau State Park. The race will consist of a
smidge over 4 miles of trail running with some added fun (think
steeplechase). We will also have a smaller, less involved, 1 mile root beer
run suitable for Kids and/or grownups.

Abita Beer and Blue Runner Beans are lined up, so make your plans to attend.
Entry forms are now available at Franco's and The Spokesman. A printable
version will be available online soon at our website at www.crawfishman.net

32nd Tour de Louisiane Set
From Randy Legeai
The 32nd Annual Tour de Louisiane kicks off in classic style in a several
days. Come race the USA's longest-running stage race and keep the tradition
alive. The Tour de Louisiane is a classic two-day stage race where the
winner is determined by total elapsed time, with bonuses for stage placings
and hot spots. There are races for all levels of riders. Keep in mind that
the Cat. 5 race, which is open to riders with one-day licenses, has a
50-rider field limit. That race usually fills up by the end of race-day
registration, so pre-registration is the way to go.

The Time Trial: This is a three-mile one-way gut-busting effort starting in
Abita Springs. The dead-flat road and short distance requires lots of speed
and power, and in the end the top places will be separated by mere seconds.
The reason the TT is only three miles is to make it hard for anyone to lock
up first place on the basis of that one stage. Riders go off in order of
number, according to class/category, which means the 1,2,3s start first,
followed by the Cat. 4s, Cat. 5s, Masters, Juniors and Women.

The Road Race: We'll be using the same course as last year in the low
rolling hills North of Loranger, LA, about a 45-minute drive from Abita
Springs. This is a scenic course with a variety of road surfaces and a hot
spot at the end of the first lap. The road sprinters and breakaway artists
have the upper hand on this one, and with up to 17 seconds in bonus points
possible, teamwork will be important. We moved the RR start back from last
year's time to 1 p.m. to give riders a bit more time.

The Criterium: Located in downtown Covington, the criterium starts and
finishes in front of the parish courthouse. The truncated four-corner
course can be a real challenge with tight corners and old city roads.
There's a little bit of fresh asphalt on the back side of the course this
year, but you'd better leave the 20mm tires at home for this one.

The Awards: We'll be having our traditional awards ceremony at Acme Oyster
House, located just across from the finish line.

Registration: We really, really appreciate online pre-registration, since
it makes race-day registration and packet pickup go so much faster. You can
register online for the same price as mail-in (we absorb the surcharge), and
you can pick up your number and race bible, and sign the pre-filled-in
release form on Friday night at the Bike Zone, across from the host hotel.
That way you avoid having to stand in line at 6:45 a.m. in the morning when
you need to pee and haven't bolted your aero bars on yet!

Volunteers: We are always looking for volunteers for important jobs.
Corner monitors are some of the most important people for the racers, and we
always need more of those. We also want people to help with the neutral
water feed for the Road Race (so the riders who come in without a support
person don't dehydrate too much!), finish zone control, lead and follow
cars, etc. Best to contact Keith Duet or Robin Robert about what's most
needed.

All of the event information is at:
http://www.gnofn.org/nobc/tdlinfo.htm where you can check out the results
from recent years, and read the race report from the very first Tour way
back in 1972. Riders can register online at
http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1066242
(no extra cost to register online).

From Jeff LaBauve

In August I will be moving back to the GNO area to go to culinary
school and pursue my new career path. While in New Orleans I would like to offer my
knowledge and experience to those interested in coaching. Contact me for

Okay, here it is... the first Multisport Report Yahoo Group enewsletter. Many of you have long received this enews note sent individually to your unique email address or from another email user group. For others, this is the first. And for still others, you have no idea what this is all about. If you are mistakenly on this list, I apologize. I am assured that you should be able to easily remove your name from the list by following the directions at the bottom of this note. Thanks for your patience with me as I continue learning the methods of communication in the 21st century.

Events this Weekend:

Alexandria, Sunday, June 8
Indian Creek Triathlon
http://www.indiancreektri.com/

Mandeville
Du the Donnie Du, Sunday, June 8
For information contact: 504/454-6561

June 11 is approaching and who can't help but think about that day a year ago when two Baton Rouge cyclists were killed in a tragic accident with a motor vehicle just south of Baton Rouge? There is talk of another memorial ride, but I've not heard any definite details for such a ride.

Since June 11th a year ago, I am sad to report that even more accidents involving fitness folks occurred. Thankfully more and more folks are getting off the proverbial couch and experiencing active living out doors. But as Louisiana folks are realizing, such active living pits motorists with more non-motorists on the highways, by ways, path ways of the state. I am delighted that June 11th sparked so much discussion in fitness circles, safety circles and political circles about how to deal with more and more non-motorists on our roads, but there's still so much more to do and so many more safety lessons to teach.

Let me strongly urge you never to forget that safety has to be first and foremost on your mind in your workouts. It's disappointing to continue seeing some of the unsafe, bad old habits of cycling and running of the roads. Remember, we have responsibilities on the roads and need to be mindful of the fact that we, too, must share the roads we use. Be careful out there.

Keep Baton Rouge triathlete Clay Swift, 55, in mind as he recovers from a quadruple heart by-pass surgery and Earl Smith as he recovers from a pretty tough auto accident that left him with injuries. He has been a long-time volunteer and cheerleader for the sport of cycling as a resident of Jackson, LA where he manages the Jackson Museum.

How are the mid-week summer running series going on at venues around the state. I know the Club South Runners Hump Day series started Wednesday, June 4 in Baton Rouge, but I've not gotten reports on the summer time running events. Is the River Cities Triathlon in Shreveport filled yet? Online registration opened last weekend, and this event usually sells out fast.

Is there a Caney Triathlon in Minden this year?

Du the Donnie Du Set for Weekend
From Louis Leonard "Salty" Galvis
On behalf of the Donnie Jarrell Fund and the Donnie Jarrell Committee, I
write to remind you all of the upcoming Du the Donnie Du, a fundraising
event for the benefit of Donnie Jarrell, which we encourage you all to
consider doing. The event will be held on Sunday, June 8, 2003, at
Fontainebleau State Park on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, off
Louisiana Highway 190 between Mandeville and Lacombe, Louisiana.

There will be both an adults' duathlon (2/10/2) and a kids' duathlon
(0.5-mile/6.2m/0.5-mile), with numerous awards given in both races, so this
will be a great opportunity for all-round family participation and fun, all
for a good cause. For more information and online registration, go directly
to http://www.donzaroo.com/du/du_d_du.htm or go to Donnie's website,
http://www.donzaroo.com or http://www.donzaroo.org, and click on the Du the
Donnie Du link there. We heartily encourage those of you who are interested
in doing the race to sign up online in advance of June 8, to facilitate our
getting all the packets ready prior to race day.

Also, for those who are not interested in doing a duathlon but would like to
join the festivities on a more leisurely basis, there will be a one-mile fun
run that you can do. Registration for the one-mile fun run is not available
online, but anyone who is interested in obtaining a registration form for
the fun run can e-mail me back and request a form.

Finally, we also need volunteers for the events, so those of you who would
like to help as volunteers on June 8 can also e-mail me back for information
on how to volunteer.

Run Workouts Set for Capital City
From Jenni Peters of Baton Rouge
Fridays at 6:30 a.m. at the Baton Rouge Beach. Four mile lake loop. Yes, I
am running that early - ONE day a week.
Wednesday Lunch Bunch at noon at the Tiger Cage on the LSU Campus. Primary
route is five miles but can be cut short to three.
Mile training begins Tuesday, July 1 at 5:30 p.m. at Varsity Sports.

Also, we have decided to use our new VO2 shop in Baton Rouge (next to
Varsity Sports on Perkins Road) to carry competitive swim suits and multisport
training gear. We are beginning to get our merchandise from Speedo, Tyr and
Nike Swim. We have also stocked up on Desoto stuff.

Four Running Events on July 4th in St. Tammany Parish
From Bud
7:30 a.m. - 4 mile
8:30 a.m. - 1/2 mile (kids)
Hubie Gallagher Park
15th Ave & Filmore - Covington
(2 blocks off Tyler)
Costumes of Red, White, & Blue, flag team relay, overall, and age group
awards will be given.

For info/directions call 985/893-3684 or 985/892-1816

NBO/Peake Cycling Time Trial Set for July 20
From Todd Herbet of St. Bernard Parish
Where: LaPlace on Highway 51 North.

Course: Out and back, 14 miles going straight north and turning around
back south. Road has new pavement and is extremely smooth.

We will have the standard LaBra categories: women, juniors, 5's, 4's,
masters 35+, 123's. Cost will be approximately $20 and one day licenses
will be available.

Any questions, call 504/780 2453. This course should be a little more
convenient to get to from a lot of different areas and there is not much
going on that weekend except for a Saturday night track event in Baton
Rouge. There is no multisport event that weekend so we would like to get all the
triathletes there also. Jason Hurling of Lafayette should not even have an excuse.

Louisiana Racers Score at Triathlon Sprint Championships
From Laurence Cohen of New Orleans
I know your enewsletter focuses on Louisiana races, but I did an out of
state race; this was the Southeast Regional Sprint Championship.

I am always trying to find challenges outside our locale. Keep up the

Age Doesn't Spoil Athletes at Tinman in Shreveport
By Mary Jimenez

(Taken from the Shreveport Times)
Age was no forecaster in Sunday's Tinman Louisiana triathlon, where 350
triathletes went up against the clock at Champion Lake in Shreveport.
After a 1.5-kilometer swim, 40km bike and 10km run it was a 45-year-old
concrete contractor from Austin, Texas, who controlled the men's field. Tim
Terwey's time of 2 hours, 2 minutes and 19 seconds gave him the victory over
40-year-old John Deshotel's time of 2:06.09.

Sabine Bildstein, 31, also of Austin, took control of the women's field with
a time of 2:09.13. Six minutes later it would be another Texan, 41-year-old Sharon Sanders, who
followed her in. Experience is one reason the masters outraced their
younger challengers. But Acadiana born Deshotel, who works for Southern
Isotopes in Baton Rouge, a bio-medical research company, admits liquid resources and time have
got to be a factor. "The younger guys are dealing with marriage, finances
and kids," said Deshotel, who's been racing triathlons for 15 years. "I
probably have more time to train. They're also probably still partying on
Friday nights. For me, it's a bike ride, dinner and that's it."

Sanders, an alternate for the USA Pentathlon Olympic team in 2000 thinks adrenaline
over smart racing sometimes breaks the younger endurance athletes. "They
don't know how to pace themselves yet," said Sanders, who returned to the
sport of triathlon in February, after a break for two years. "I wanted to
try and make the 2004 Olympic pentathlon team but it was getting very
political and not so much fun. So I came back to triathlons."

All the top finishers plan to be back in the area in August for the
nationally popular River Cities Triathlon to be held Aug. 3 this year and then again back at
Champion Lake for the Oct. 4 National Age-group USA Triathlon Championships.
USA Triathlon representative Tim Yount was at the Tinman checking out the
race site. "We were looking for a great management group and great city to
support this event and based on what race director Mike Hutcheson showed us,
we thought this would be a great venue," said Yount, who expects between 900
to 1,100 racers. "For the past three championships every state has been
represented."

The Tinman triathletes on Sunday all agreed with Yount's
expectations. The swim was good, the bike was side open and cut off from
traffic and neighborhood spectators, including Mayor Keith Hightower, were
all happy to spray water on sweating triathletes as they ran by. "The
support is always great" said Terwey, of Terwey Concrete Contractors, who
took the lead from Karl Stewart, 45, at about mile five of the bike portion.

Stewart and long-time Baton Rouge resident Paul Daniels, 53, both came out
of the water 1:30 ahead of Terwey, with Stewart taking the best of Daniels, who now lives in the
Houston area, on the bike. But behind both Stewart and Daniels and Marcelo Silva - -third overall and closing fast on
his opponents -- Deshotel's bike speed put him position to hold second place
transitioning to the run.

Although Terwey has no real background in the three sports of triathlon, he suspects his line of business may have been his training. "It may have been working will all that concrete that kept
me strong," said Terwey, who is racing for the fifth year in the sport."

The women's race unfolded with Sanders leading the way out of the swim.
Shannon Walsh, third overall, was second out of the swim. Bildstein took
control at about the halfway mark on the bike, taking a one minute lead over
Sanders going into the run, then polishing another 5:30 minutes on Sanders
with a 38:25 run time for the 10km. Bildstein beat her 2002 Tinman race time
by more than two minutes.

Being single with no children and more time to train definitely makes training easier to schedule says the software
developer for BMC Software of Austin. She was won over by the sport about
three years ago. "It's a lifestyle, not just a sport. It seems to creep
into every aspect of your life and you have to be careful that it doesn't
take over everything," Bildstein said.

There was a bit of controversy in the team division. Shreveporter Russ
Walker put in the fastest bike split with a 56:12 on the 40km route en route to a first-place team finish,
beating their next competitors by 10 minutes with a time of 2:07.07. Swimmer Tanya
McCullough, Walker and runner Shelley Schneider, were disqualified for
advance technology. According to USA Triathlon rules, Walker's front and
rear solid disc wheels are illegal. A disc rear wheel is used by many
triathletes, it's that extra one on the front that has not only USA
Triathlon officials shaking their head but also national and international
cycling officials nixing aero-dynamic technology. Team Sportspectrum, who
finished in 2:17.30 was awarded the title of first place.

Orleanian Perspective on the Louisiana TinMan
From Pamela
I am happy to say that the swim in Champion Lake at Tinman was greatly
improved. I was told that the lake is a foot deeper than last year and the
swim started a little further towards the center of the lake. As a result,
the swim was clean. The bottom was still mushy but the water was chest
deep. So you could tread water if you did not want to sink into the lake.
The bike and run were about the same as last year, but with a difference in
the weather. There was a wind which made the bike harder half the time. But
that same wind made the run much cooler.

Even though I am not as well trained as last year, my time was 10 minutes
faster than my finish for 2002. With a little luck, the same thing will
happen for me next Sunday in San Francisco.

For those of you who normally are in the winners circle, this year's field
had fewer than 400 participants, as compared to more than 1,000 in 2002. We
did not stay for the awards, so I do not know if any of the New Orleans area
participants went home with hardware.

In addition to River Cities Triathlon registration opening that day, they
also had applications for the IronKids race (which you can register on
line). This year the swim for the IronKids race is in a lake. Lane dividers
will be set-up in the lake and kids will be allowed to swim with water
wings or any thing that will make them comfortable. Maybe in time, we can
get some of these accommodations for the rest of us.

Bicycle Festival Set for UCM Museum in Abita Springs
From John Preble <ucm985@...>

The next Louisiana Bicycle Festival will take place at the UCM Museum in
Abita Springs on Father's Day, Sunday June 15, 2003.

Come see, exhibit, and ride homebuilt, vintage and custom bicycles. All
bicycles types were welcome - yes you can bring your new mountain bike,
your old racing bike, or the bicycle your grandfather has in is garage -
we'd like to see it. BMX guys -- just do it!

Sponsors included the Abita Springs Business Association, Abita Brewery,
Walmart, BikeRod&Kustom, and the UCM Museum

More than six hundred bike enthusiasts attended last years festival. The
number of participants was dampen by wet weather conditions in the area.
The event was well publicized by print, radio, and tv. Hopefully we
will have another good turn out.

If you are coming in from out of the area and need to spend the nite -
let me know - I think I can get some discounts at the local B&B's and
Hotels.

This is a test email; you know the kind, right? Anyway, I've been
sending an enewsletter to fitness folks once a week for many years.
But lately, I've had trouble sending individual email addresses via
my non-work server, lawired.com. Since I know very little about
computer functions, I had one of my internet savy friends set up this
Yahoo Group list.

If you are on this "fitness list" called the Multisport Report which
is set up for triathletes, cyclists, runners, swimmers, etc. and
don't believe this list is intended for you, I apologize for the
inconvience. You can easily remove your name by following the
directions below. My internet savy friends simply loaded every name
in my computer address book to this Yahoo group.

Thanks for understanding. I hope you are well.

"Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small steps." David Lloyd George

Well the multisport racing season is in full swing with lots of triathlons, duathlons, bike races and running races going on everywhere all the time. To top it off, there's lots on the tube to keep weekend race warriors motivated from triathlon telecasts to daily racing shows on famous events like the cycling Tour of Italy! If you ain't motivated now, you can't be motivated. I don't have the cable station that telecasts the Giro d'Italia, but I was out of town and got to see a couple of reports and what a sight it was. Maybe I'll break down subscribe to the station by the time the Tour de France begins when Americans whip the French again! (By the way I'm not ashamed of my French heritage; I just appreciate more why my ancestors left the land after reading my World War II history and watch the Middle Eastern history unfold.)

While my individual running is disappointing, I must say that I'm looking forward to the local mid-week two milers starting up on June 4 in the capital city. I know other areas have these mid-week runs and these are great avenues to keep your speed work honest during the hot summer days.

Swimming pools are busy everywhere I travel across Louisiana. No doubt the worst one is at Louisiana Tech where the old people and water walkers keep the temperature in that tremendous facility at a toasty 80 degrees (perhaps I exaggerate, but suffice it to say that the temperature is dangerously hot for distance swimmers).

It was great watching and helping at the Anthony Nolan Stage race last weekend. There were some gifted athletes racing in the capital city, but most impressive to me was masters racer Eddie Corchoran of Kenner. He was among the top masters finishers in the three-stage event after having done the half IronMan Gulf Coast Triathlon in Florida the weekend before. What a multisporter!
