Lake Placid is awesome. Had a great swim (for me) 1:22; had a great bike (I had been worried about making the cutoff) 7:04; had a great “run” (second ever marathon) 5:30 = 14:15:59. Don’t let people scare you off this race. I had a 45 minute PR over IM Florida. The spectators are the best and the scenery is truly breathtaking. As a bonus - I won first place Athena 40+ so I have a really nice souvenir from the day.
p.s. I think my boyfriend and I now hold the record for the 4 person bobsled. We went sliding on Monday - you thought you were going fast on the bike downhills!!!
