For those of you still wondering if Normann Stadler will race in Lake Placid I have the up to date news................ There isn't any.
I've talked to some race officials and they (like all of us) have seen the information posted on his website and have sent the call out to him to find out what is going on. However, no one has returned their calls or emails. While it is quite possible he could still show up today to register, that is unlikey. Keep your fingers crossed though.
After picking up my race kit today (turned my chip in so no chance of racing--maybe), I had a chance meeting with James Bonney at the Expo. I was checking out his bike and we had a nice chat about a ton of stuff. Before my chat with him I thought that he had a great chance to win this race (especially after his IMAZ performance), and I sincerely hope that he does so. A very classy and down to earth guy! If he runs a sub-3 hour marathon (his goal for this race--he swims and bikes like a demon already) I think he will do it.
As usual, the town of LP is in full swing in preparation for Sunday. Lots of fit people riding and running around town. I'm jealous. I'm almost feeling my leg healing at the moment. Maybe I should rent a bike and do this darn race? There are so many fellow athletes and locals saying sorry to me and wishing me well. This makes things easier and why I love this sport and town so much. I'll be back next year for sure.
Til next time
