Tri Cajun Rip Van Winkle Triathlon Pictures

Well, it was a rainy and mosquito filled morning yesterday but the people who braved the weather got it done. There were several first timers that I saw, and hopefully the gumption they showed in their first tri to get through the weather will carry through to the next one, and the one after that. The rain made it a little hard to get some of the pictures, with drops sometimes landing on my lens and sometimes causing the picture to be out of focus, so some of the pics had to be trashed. I still got 365 of them, though. Not sure what other races I’ll be taking pics at since the next few I will be competing in. Maybe the ULL Homecoming Tri in October. My wife is doing that as a team with some friends, so obviously I will be there for support. The uploads will depend on my internet connection, which Cox has not exactly been providing me the last few weeks. Their modem kept crapping out, and after three service calls the internet works but the phone is out. I may have to look into another phone provider since I think they are ripping me off anyway. Oh well, such is life. until next time, enjoy the race pics over at www.Sportfriendly.com/photos.

Tri-Cajuns Rip Van Winkle Triathlon #2

Hello, is this thing on? Wow, been neglecting things for a while. My scanning business, www.adi-scans.com got another contract recently, so I’ve been just a little busy. No excuse, though. Anyway, tomorrow morning I will be heading out to take pictures at the Rip Van Winkle Triathlon #2 at Jefferson Island. This will be my last race picture session for awhile since I’m doing two races in September (Meat Pie in Natchitoches and Cajunman here in Lafayette). There should be a good group out in the morning, I heard that a race in FL was cancelled because of the weather and a lot of people have called our race director to see if they could join our race instead. I think I heard more than 200 people are in it now…Anyway, should be a good race, and a good time. Don’t forget to check for race pictures at www.sportfriendly.com/photos and sign up for a free membership while you’re there!

T-Gator Triathlon in Lake Charles

Photos are posted for the T-Gator Triathlon #3 in Lake Charles, LA yesterday at www.Sportfriendly.com. Seemed like there was a pretty good turnout, though not as many people from Lafayette as they usually have I think. Got a video of the first swim wave and photos of the swim exit and finish. I didn’t get a whole lot of the cyclists since I tried to get all the swimmers and finishers. Hard to be in three places at once, but someone I met at the race might send me a link for some pictures of the cyclists. Hope everyone enjoys them.
