From my view in the Crowne Plaza great room where I write every morning I can see dozens of competitors out swimming the course. I'll do the same in a couple of hours. The pic above is out that window.
Yesterday we spent more time strolling around Lake Placid. Not much of
When I registered for Ironman Lake Placid I knew how much I would need to train. In fact, the initial months of training for Ironman Lake Placid involved cutting back my training time. I rested, lost a little more weight, and began to rebuild my body to prepare for a

The 2013 Hilly Billy Roubaix was hour for hour the hardest race I’ve done to date. I’ve done some very tough races. And some of the longer races have been harder overall for me. But for the length of race Hilly Billy was TOUGH. It was hot, hard, and long.
