Ran down to start of ironman Lake Placid. What an incredible event. A serious thunderstorm rolled in right in the middle of the swim. Lightning was everywhere and people were still swimming. I couldn't believe how long it took them to make the call and get folks out of the water. I stayed for some of the bike leg as well. Those top guys are seriously fast. Would have loved to be at the finish at the very end. The courage average people have to keep going after 16 hours is amazing. |
