No race for me at the 13th Ironman Lake Placid

For the first time in 13 years, I was not signed up to do Ironman Lake Placid.

I've raced there every year (except 2008 when my achilles was ruptured), but I knew I'd be needed to do some reporting work this year so no race for me. Plus, my continuous streak was over anyway.

Not to mention that course doesn't suit my skillset. But I always raced faster if I had another Ironman scheduled weeks or months after it (unless a mechanical of course) so I liked doing it as a long catered training day with lots of people cheering for you. Lake Placid on race day is like nothing else.

Anyway, here is a small portion of what I did on race day.
