  • Comments: I really like this race. It is very flat and very well put on. A great early season race in a great city. Should be put on the schedule for a major BT get-together. Since this race is just before or just after the big Mardi Gras festivities, the crowds aren't as big in town, the hotels are very reasonably priced and you can't beat the fun in the city. Great food, great drinks, great times, and a little run thrown in. This is a must.

  • Comments: Nice race as always, new course was a good change. Disappointed that they ran out of medals before we finished, all we got was an IOU.

  • Comments: Well done event. New Orleans will always be a second home to me. We lived there from 91 to 98 and then again from 2001 to 2005. It was great to go back and race with old friends and the post race activities at a New Orleans race are always first class. I loved the new route for the half marathon dispite the bad roads, it was alot of fun. PR by 2:43. I finally broke 2:20 Best overall ranking at this distance by 15% I think.

  • Comments: Dylan finished in 2:09 but now he's in PAIN!!! BEAR finished in 2:59. He'd hoped to finish in under 3 hours and he did! GEAUX BEARS!!! I am proud of you both! Traveled home and picked up the boys from Ma and Pa. They had a good weekend camping. We missed the BT Gang!!! Laurie you would have enjoyed this half! :):):)
