Im out, recovering from a back injury.  I have one more day on this damn medrol dose pack, and a follow up appointment on Friday.  So hopefully everything goes well and I get the okay.  Good luck to everyone.

Well, I thought I was.  Everyone in the house has been sick over the last month and it finally hit me Sunday.  Feel like complete crap.  Trying to take it easy this week and see how it goes.

I am a bit surprised that we haven't heard anything by now.  I figured Sunday night we would see an update but its now Tuesday.  Hopefully we see something tonight.

Email was sent out last night.  Everything pretty basic, same as what Gary posted.  Race day packet pick up and registration starts at 6am.  Warning not to get there earlier or you will be put to work setting up. 

Surprised to see wave starts.  Before it became Oxbow and was just the Louisiana Tri. it was a mass start IIRC.  Anyway, I'll be in second wave.

Picked up my race packet and got a nice low number.  Turns out if you register for the series you keep the same number throughout.   Did the BRTri swim clinic a couple of weekends ago and the water was cold enough to assure me this one will be wetsuit legal.

Gary, since you signed up for the entire series can you tell me about the duathlon.  I've done all the races in the series before except that one.  Is the MTB division just a seperate category for people on MTB bikes or are there actually off-road trails where the race will be held?

Hey guys, just curious what the water temp was at false river for the oxbow?  I need to do some OWS.  Thanks for any information you can provide.

It wasn't bad at all.  I did wear a wetsuit; first time I've worn one in anything less than an IM, but probably could have done without.  I'd say if you start your swim at 8AM or later you could go without but it wouldn't be too hot to wear one either.

Never done the Dua and I believe the MTB is on the levy trail but not 100% on that.

I did the duathlon the first year they had it, they had a MTB specific course on the levee and they also had a fat tire division for both the little Voo Du (12 mile) and the Big Voo Du (18 mile) on River Road.

Ok, I'm from Lafayette so not familiar with the levee.  Is that single track , fire roads, or just a gravel road of some sort?

I believe it was some type of gravel road.  I did the 18 mile fat tire division on River Road that year. It is not technical or single track for sure.
