Lake Placid Iron Man

By the numbers

One:  FINA world swimming championships in progress in Rome.  Havn't paid much attention yet.  Will be interesting to see how Team USA does.  

Two:  Tour de France  wrapped up today.  Lance Armstrong comes in 3rd after 3-1/2 years off.  37 - 1/2 yearolds worldwide rejoice as we're suddenly further from 40 than we think.

Three:  Ironman Lake Placid in progress.  My friend KI 
is doing it for her 2nd year in a row and raising over $2000 for cancer research thru Memorial Sloan Kettering. 

I've been checking her progress and the math I do looks like she's gonna PR  last year's time by quite a bit.  She should be done shortly.  I can't wait to see!

Looking like this right now...

Hours Min Sec
Swim 1 19
T1 9 5
Bike 7 3 50
T2 5 23
Run Loop 1 2 24 22
1 1
Total 11 1 40

Looking like she'll break 14 hours fairly handily!

Four:  My stats this week...  Back at it pretty good.

Monday:   Swim 3K - Meters, Run 3.4 miles
Tuesday:   Cycle 14 miles, 3K+ yards
Wednesday:  Off
Thursday Cycle 28 with CSH crew
Friday: Run 6
Saturday Rest
Sunday Cycle 30.

I did a pretty nice and a little hilly new course with John Mitchell.  An old high school swimming rival.  Turns out we know a lot of the same folks from back home.  He beat me in the Triangle Triathlon 2 weeks ago.  'Nuff about getting beat,  it was  a great course and great ride.

Here's some pics from the Triangle Triathlon a few weeks ago.  Thanks to Oliver and Vanessa Luker.
