I knew two people racing yesterday in Lake Placid. The live updates were less than fully functional, but I did get to cheer as each left the transitions with impressive times. Both M__ and J__ swam in the 1:05 range, which is quite good for an age grouper. Both averaged close to 20 mph on the bike, and Lake Placid is a famously hilly course -- so, again, it's quite something. J__ proceeded to run a 3:39 marathon, only about :30 slower than what I believe to be his personal best (for a pure marathon); M__ ran 4:17. With Vineman now five days away, quite inspiring.
Oh, and today right at noon I signed up for next year's running of Lake Placid.
