Tuesday, June 13, 2006 saw the running of the Kings of the
Concrete 3 x 2 mile relay in New Iberia. Sponsored by George's Gym on
Parkview, six teams of three each ran the 6 mile loop that finishes in City
Park. First across the line was former pro triathlete Heath Biggerstaff,
staked to early lead by teammates David Lasseigne and Alix Stelly. A
rematch has been tentatively scheduled for next month, when Race Director
Carroll Smith will be challenged to perhaps seed the teams just a but more evenly.
There was much head-scratching as we tried to figure how one team could have two
present or former UL-Lafayette varsity runners as well as a wily oilfield
executive in the middle of a successful transformation from champion weightlifter
to potential Boston Marathon qualifier. The competitors ranged in age from
19 to 72, running anywhere from 6:00 to 9:30 miles.
