Any other folks from GA going down?  This will be my fifth triathlon ever and first HIM in my short 1 year career.

Goals - in this order:

1.  Survive 1.2 Mile Swim in Lake Pontchartrain
2.  Finish
3.  Have Fun
4.  Complete in under 6:30
5.  Experience 1 full hour at a craps table with no 7-out rolls!!  That might pay for the trip.

We are staying at Harrah's Casino...YAHOO!!

Good luck everyone!

Brian

I am in.  Best case scenario: go sub-5:30 or better powered by some female pro pace booty (I am in swim wave 3), not get sick from the lake, not get sick from the oysters, have enough energy to enjoy Borboun St. Sunday night; and, find Trail_Runner's craps table early when he goes on his run.

I'm in as well!

my goals:
1. swim in 29min...fingers crossed
2. 21mph avg on the bike
3. not to cook my self on the bike and run under 2hrs

I'll be happy with anything under 6hrs but under 51/2 hrs would be sweet!

If I'd noticed this before signing up for Gulf Coast, I'd be there.  So, since I can't make it this year I want a few things from those of you going.

 

1) Someone has to have coffee at Cafe DuMond.

2) Someone has to get a drive-thru daqueri.  I'll let you pick your own flavor.

 

Everything else I normally do when visiting Momma there aren't really gonna be possible for you with the race.  Like joining the Velo club for its Saturday ride, including a short jaunt on the interstate, though you might get to jog along the lakeshore.  

 

Y'all have fun and try not to focus on the parts that haven't been rebuilt yet.
