CajunMan (Page 3)

Bear,

I'll be staying in the area for about a week visiting the folks.  So, I can meet for packet pickup, lunch, drive the course.

Where ever you guys decide to eat dinner is fine with me.  Probably the best idea is a pasta resteraunt.  Not sure boiled crawfish is the best pre-race food .

BTW...M/M Zia_cyclist will be there.

The idea about a canopy would be great.  Mrs. Zia_cyclist easily turns to a nice "boiled crawfish" color when in the sun.

Here's the roll call so far

• M/M waskelton
• M/M Manatee Express
• M/M 13 (H and JoAnnH)
• zia cyclist
• RGRBILL

Anyone else?

Got an email from race director that he'll be updating the waiting list at the end of this week.  Keep your fingers crossed for me and hubby

I am sorry but I am not giving you a thumbs up your arse.

All of these posts back and forth about CajunMan....  Are you all training for it, or just talking about the pre- and post- party opportunities?   Now... GET ON YOUR BIKES AND RIDE (apologies to Queen).

Playing around here, FWIW this should be the running route at CajunMan. Only mapped one-way, you have to turn around to retrace your steps. Most of the route is on a service road to the airport, that is a runway you run around and there is a tiny bit of a hill at that point.

Also shows a good aerial shot of the lake and the transition area, which is that green space between the run start and the lake.

Maybe I'll do the run course after lunch.

And here is the bike route I did

Yes, Yes it is an active airport.  With airliners too.  I used to fly into there quite a bit when our company provided service to LFT.

It even looks like on of our airlines Saab 340.  I can't ever recall taking off that way, so I don't think it was me flying it.

Edit. On second look, I realize it was the runway we normally used.  I wish I could find the date:time stamp for that pic.

The alligators there haven't bitten a triathlete in two, maybe three years. They do help to keep the population of water mocassins and nutria.

I'm okay.  We're staying with my sister-in-law in Monroe, LA.  I'm trying to find work, my husband is going to Baton Rouge indefinitely to assist with triage and care for patients from NO hospitals.  As of right now, we have no income.

We just cancelled our Hawaii vacation.  We managed to get a refund from the condo and a credit for the airline tix.  We're heartbroken.

We have a few other problems, but in all, we will survive. We have shelter, food, family, and most importantly, credit cards.
