Here it is folks, what every Ironman athlete lusts after. The illustrious, the RARE, Dev Paul’s Edot Finishers medal.
Just for the record, this isn’t mine since I didn’t finish that day. 
Dude.
Sweet.
DUDE!
SWEET!
DUDE!!!
SWEET!!! 
I gots to get me onea those next year.
What’s w/ the maple leaf? Did Lake Placid seceed to Canada?

You didn’t get the memo?
Very nice. Is it really made of wood?
I designed the medal. Since 90% of the participants were Canadian (down from 100% in previous years) I decided to put on a Maple Leaf.
The “medal” should actually be called a “wood”. It’s a piece of thin wood with paper glued on top.
No idea…maybe Dev will chime in today and answer the questions. I think it is though
Oh, I Iike that: “Brag for the rest of the week”. No mercy from Dev. :o)
Very cool.

<< The “medal” should actually be called a “wood”. >>
So, what you are saying is, that if one were to win one of these coveted pieces of hardware, that that person could then walk around all week bragging:
“I got wood!”
“Bringin home The Wood Baby”…nice.
That’s it…no bragging after one week has past. You are only as studly as your last week worth of training. After that, everything starts fresh and you may as well be a newbie. History counts for nothing when the Uberbikers lay down the smack and you can’t hang on…
Thanks to “Treppy” Chris Macknie…also known as the Kailua Comet for designing th medal and bagging a Kona slot at LP…oh yeah, and that sprint finish in the oval at LP again Chris was pure pain. I can still feel it in my legs like it was yesterday.
Don’t you know that Lake Placid is a suburb of Ottawa ? There were over 70 finishers from the greater Ottawa area at LP !

I thought I saw a lot of Molson’s being served at LP.
By the way…Did you guys really invent Canadian Bacon?..we call it ham over here. LOL~
For those of you who want an Epicman medal with Stars and Stripes, you need to go next year to Epicman Madison. Chris Daniels (daniels-dot-chris-at-verizon-dot-net) is organizing this event in the world epicman series :-). I don’t know time and date, but you guys can put some pressure on him with respect to medal design.
We are stuck with the same medal design for Epicman LP until my supply runs out. Then we can have submissions for future design from the grafix whizzes on ST
I plan on making my own next year. It will say:
Most Improved
Just like the ones we use to get in hockey.
That’s right! EpicMan Madison (or MadCow, or Moo, or whatever cow reference you want to put on it) will take place in…May? Haven’t actually nailed down a day yet but it’s in the works. I estimate 15-20 interested people in this area (central IL) will show. Who’s in??? Would it be wrong to have sponsors for the race? Nothing mainstream, just some local web sites, etc.
I’m also trying to put together a finishers medal. Cow shape, cheese shape, who knows. Distance is up in the air too. Might be something like 1.5mi swim/70mi bike (Madison to Verona, one loop, then back to Madison), 13mi run (one loop). Any suggestions on getting access to the water would be helpful. Not sure about LP but is Mirror Lake used only for swimming/training/etc so access for swimmers is open all the time? This could be my only roadblock to a “real” epic training day.
give me a shout. later, cd
…hey hang on here. You can’t just use the Epicman for an event that has a short ride. Its gotta be a full 180K bike and 21.1 K run preceded by a 50 min swim (whatever distance that gets everyone is OK)
I bet you’ll get more than 20 if you do it on a weekend.
Dev’s right.
You’ll have to rename that EpicBoy w/ a ride that short.
EpicBoy, LOL, good one, I see where I’m gonna have to step it up. But yo, this is the ultimate training day, our course, our day. I’ll cetainly see what I can do to push the mileage up. You have to work with the course given to you, the premise of the day, and what everyone is working toward. Hmm, just like in IM. I’m optimistic about the swim but hey, can’t be sure about the it since who knows if we can just jump right in and swim lake Menona. I got the 1/2 IM in there! We’ll still do this thing…
