Wet Weather Father's Day |
Despite a half foot of rain in about 2 hours, about a dozen Chuggers and several honorary Chuggers lined up for the Father's Day Race at Lasalle Park. There were several Chuggers-in-Training who ran both the half-mile and 2 mile.
 Cousin & Big E finish the half mile
If your camera survived the downpour and you've got some pics from the race please forward them to Bill for the site.

Team Buttwatcher Spotted at Back the the Beach |
The Fat-Ass contingency of the Chuggers headed out to Lake Pontchartrain to set their base times for the best-improved time in a 2 mile wager. After leaving it all on the track we proceeded to set some new records for draft beer consumption.

Burke and Dennis are not in the Weight Loss contest so I spared them listing their weights.
Good luck to all. The NOTC Free For All on July 31st is our run-off to see who brings home the bacon. |

OPA! Chuggers Go Greek |
 Combine oppressive heat and humidity, a bottle of Ouzo, some Tzatziki and a few Gyros, and you've got the perfect setting for a spleen bending 5K. The Chuggers dominated the after party and staged a sit-in on the fairgrounds. OPA, OPA. Pass the Shawarma

Al Briede Run in World Record Heat |
Not actually, but the NOAA Apparent Temperature map backs up what Swami said about the race....IT WAS FREAKIN' HUMID

If anyone has pics of all those sweaty Chuggers let me know and I'll get them up on the site. |

Stupid Is As Stupid Does |
A few of us got stupid at the Run Forest Run race in the French Quarter. It was humid as hell so we were forced to drink several Michelob Ultras to fight the heat.

THERE WERE ONLY A HANDFUL OF US OUT THERE. The usual suspects (Bill, Troy, Ken, Terry, Susan, Robin) and we may have picked up a new member "Gigigams". Check out the race pics |

Chuggers Star in a Major Motion Picture |
 A couple of Chuggers made their big screen debut when they appeared in the filming of "Duodecapentathalon" ?sp. Be on the lookout for Healy when this hits the big screen. He's the one who the they kept on dropping the star of the film behind so they could film him passing Healy up. It wasn't a great turn out, but at least one of us got to puke at the end. |
