Ironman Lake Placid 2009


Spent four days completely unplugged from the grid with multisport-minded friends in
Lake Placid. Here are Steph, Jen, Ryan and I at Marcy Dam a few hours before reaching the summit of Mount Marcy. On Saturday I joined Patrick McCrann, Rich Strauss, and another EN athlete for an epic 105 mile ride looping from Lake Placid to Lake Champlain and back.


Sunday arrived early after that ride (& a few beers by the campfire)! Our training buddy Joe Ruiz had a great, great day, as you can tell from this photo. At that point he had only swam 2.4 miles, biked 112 miles, and ran 14 miles... Still 12 miles to go!

It's looking like another run at Lake Placid for me in 2011. Hard to watch that race and not get the fever!
