Live from Lake Placid!

Sunday is the big day.

We arrived on Wednesday night, after two flights cross-country and a 2 1/2 hour drive from Albany.

Race Check-In at the Lake Placid High School gym

On Thursday, we checked in for the race.  The details are mind-boggling.  We were ID'ed at least twice, weighed in (so that if we end up in a medical tent that the personnel will know our healthy weight), and received our race numbers and bags.

We bought schwag with the race logo on it, including t-shirts, workout clothing, water bottles, and the obligatory M-dot sticker that will go on the back of my car to commemorate this event.

Then we went swimming in Mirror Lake.  It's a beautiful lake, very clear, and on Sunday will be very crowded.

Bike course -- sketchy roads, beautiful scenery

On Friday morning, we went for a 45 minute bike ride followed by a 20 minute run, all at relatively easy paces.  The bike ride was over one of the more challenging parts of the course, which I had no trouble on, and gave me a little bit more much-needed confidence.

Tonight (Friday) is the welcome dinner, followed by the mandatory pre-race "talk".

More to come....
