Rock 'n' Roll Mardi Gras Marathon Medals by Ollie Neglerio
Upon completion of my first half marathon I was award one of these rockin’ medals. One half marathon down baby!
We drove down to New Orleans on a Friday night and the race was held Sunday morning. Out of our group of four I was the only person running. It’s a surprise I could propel my body forward for 13.1 miles with the massive amount of eating that went on.
I achieved my personal goals which is a mystery considering what I consumed. Good-bye smart pre-race fueling. I don’t recommend this meal plan, this is why:
For starters…
Margherita Pizza at Domenica
dessert…
Hot chocolate and beignets at Cafe du Monde
my only drink…
A Shark Attack! at Tropical Isle
beginning the next day with…
Two egg breakfast at Cafe Fleur de Lis
going all out on…
Half a roast beef, half a shrimp, french fries and gumbo at Johnny's Po-Boys
extreme carbo loading…
I'm an eating machine
(I said I went all out)
A banana split at Stanley Restaurant
with a cherry on top.
Haha, awesomeness! I really want a roast beef po-boy the next time I go to New Orleans. Would you recommed the po-boy from Johnny’s?

If you are in the FQ, Johnny’s is centrally located, fairly inexpensive and good. If you are near Magazine please go to Tracey’s (used to be Parasol’s in a roundabout way), they have the best roast beef po-boy I’ve ever had!
