Lori wins 2009 Fontainebleau Adventure Duathlon!

This past weekend Lori and I headed to Mandeville to participate in this year's edition of the Fontainbleau Adventure Duathlon.  This race was part of the Greater New Orleans Northshore Adventure Weekend.  There were five different events to choose from on Saturday and Sunday.  We chose to race in the duathlon on Saturday morning.  The course was in perfect condition for an offroad race...wet, muddy, and cold!  Lori tore up the course and won the female division (she also finshed 7th overall...male and female).  Paul finished 6th overall and 3rd in the "guys named Paul" division.  I also had what I consider to be a succesfull race and finished a little more towards the front of the middle of the pack than usual.  Congrats to Lori and Paul!  Here's a post race picture:



After the race, Lori and I stuck around to volunteer for the Kids Adventure Challenge Experience.  We hasd a great time watching the all the kids do events like paddling, scavenger hunts, fun run, trail ride, inflatable obstacle course, mystery events, and a rockwall.  We both highly recommend the KACE...it is a wonderful event for families.
