 Run
Comments: I only started running again in the last two weeks, and the only running I've ever done in my life was for a few months last year in preparation for my first tri, so my expectations weren't all that high. I told Laurie before the race that I'd be happy going under 35 minutes, so my time was what I was looking for. I got a kick out of passing some members of the New Orleans Track Club along the way. Laughed at a few outfits. I could have run faster, but that wasn't the point of this race for me. Beating my wife was the point of the race. :) What would you do differently?: Registered earlier so I could sleep later on my day off.  Post race
Warm down: Waited for Laurie at the finish line. Yelled a few things (it was encouragement) as she came to the finish line. We talk a lot of trash, but there's not much more rewarding than having a wife who you can train with and race with. Oh yeah, and I beat her. Had some Abita beer and red beans and rice. I think I had some Gatorade too. What limited your ability to perform faster: My running. Event comments: We had a great time and didn't take it too seriously. We should be doing more like this in the future. A few pictures are in Laurie's (tri_it_cajun_style) race report. Last updated: 2005-11-12 12:00 AM

Well I only entered this race because Laurie was running in it, and I had the day off. I was just going to treat this like another training run and get a t-shirt out of it. That was until my sweet wife starting talking trash via text message the day prior to the race. That pretty much continued up until the race.
Got out there early since I wasn't registered. Way too early in fact. Walked around with Laurie for awhile in the park. Talked more trash. Looked around at all the destruction in the park from the hurricane. Laughed at the horrible fashion sense of people who run. It must be the fact that we bike and swim that makes us so much more stylish.
