Thanks!Cathy zia_cyclist - 2009-03-27 10:13 AM Here's a re-post since it fell off the first page: My wife and I are planning to eat at Mandina's http://www.mandinasrestaurant.com/ on Saturday at 5 pm. My wife grew up in New Orleans. Mandina's is a classic neighborhood New Orleans resteraunt. Great food. Plenty of pasta f pre-race meal. They don't take reservations but will hold a table if we let them know ahead of time (I know, sounds like a reservation). They also don't accept credit cards or checks...cash only. If anyone wants to join us let me know by Saturday so we can ask them to hold a table for us on the 'porch'.
I may be up for dinner. I'll confirm later next week. Scott |

Veteran 351 Thibodaux | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 New Orleans : Official Thread LazyMarathoner - 2009-03-27 10:18 AM I'm in for the swim. You name the time. I'm driving in from 50 miles away, so I'm flexible. Where are you staying?mammatri's - 2009-03-26 2:44 PM LazyMarathoner - 2009-03-26 1:13 PM I'm around pretty early Friday and planning to swim at the venue if possible. Anyone else thinking of getting in the water that early? I haven't been in a wetsuit or OW since August so I'm a little concerned and need to acclimate!
That might not be a bad idea. What are you callin' early? Not too early. My flight lands around 11 I think. So right after lunch maybe? Does anyone have details on how to get there from the host hotels? If we need to cab it maybe we can get a small group together. I'll likely swim Saturday as well. |

I need to check & see if they're having any on Fri. so maybe I can get that knocked out as well.

We'll be setting up a firm time shortly. Maybe we can go from the hotel together? My plan changed so I'm staying at Le Pavillon Hotel, less than 1 mile from Marriott. We could still carpool together. Darn, that reminds me...I need to get the rental car! |

Champion 5117 Brandon, MS | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 New Orleans : Official Thread Finally got those scattered thunderstorms off the forecast. Good to see. Got in a small brick on Sunday and a good open water swim. Cleaned up the bike, got new bar pads and tape. I'm just ready to be down there.
