Ironman Lake Placid

This is an event that takes place in pretty much my back yard. Well...maybe not exactly but within an easy one day drive.

This is the 10th anniversary of the Lake Placid Ironman and there are actually 8 participants (one woman, 7 men) who have done all 10 of the events.

The participants today will be swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles and running 26.2 miles.

Think this race might be for you? Then be sure to read Dev Paul's Part 1 and Part 2 about mistakes not to make and what you need to do if you hope to win.
