Thanks! Outstanding running weather yesterday helped me put together the race of my life.

BTW, Spent some time on the bike course yesterday with Kalber on the back stretch out of Keene. That man is a freight train on the flats.

Outstanding job! 9:33. Potts only beat you by 45min! I'm in your age group and would be lucky to be 12:xxhr. You killed the run nearly a 2:xx. Did you know you were that close to breaking 3 hrs?
Did you qualify for Kona? I don't know how that works. Can not imagine what you would do if you did not work! Are you closer to 45 or 49yo?

In the spirit of a winner from Rochester, NY today, here is a related article from the Rochester paper about triathlon, Ironman in particular.

$742 just to register for Lake Placid next year. Have fun with that.

Don't forget $2000 for a week at the Super 8 in LP. :-)

The hotel room poaching is the main reason why I will never do LP, especially now that Tremblant is around.

Was shooting for it but did my bezt to ignore it until I was past 20mi.

I did qualify. Cant wait.

Are you closer to 45 or 49yo?

Just turned 46.

Ah, so this means I get 1 year every 5 where you're not in my fn AG?
Swell.
I'd better make the most of the next one.

Did you take your Kona slot?
Or make somebody insanely happy at the rolldown?

I took the slot and will take one more shot at kona. Hoping that gets it out of my system for awhile. There was one rolldown slot (of 6 for the ag) so someone got a gift.

So, you'll be otherwise occupied this Oct, and won't be racing the Devils Kitchen Du? (assuming it actually occurs)

YESYESYESYES!!!!!

Oh, did I say that with my out-loud voice? ;-)

Good luck in Kona!! A very well deserved honor.

didn't make my goal of 9:45 but I did just squeak into the sub 10hr crowd (9:59) and ran a marathon PR.

Thanks Rich...I may have to consider doing a flat Ironman at some point. You absolutely killed it. In other shocking news, the sun came up in the east today!!! ;)

Unfortunately things turned very ugly for me pretty quickly. Just a bad day at the office. I seriously thought about calling it a day on the bike. Oh well...there will be other days...

Good luck at Kona. Try not to crush too many pro dreams!!!

I'm not sure why this thread came up, but in honour of my friend Konaexpress, I hearby kick off the annual Mirror Lake water temperature navel gazing. Anyone taken the ice temperature at the dock today? Is it Water Rover legal?
