Going the Distance at Lake Placid - The Pictorial

Who needs a fancy bike stand. My favorite bike mechanic making those final adjustmnets to my precious bike.


Heading over to rack the bike.

The usual "day-before" chaos at the Oval.

Swim start: "just stay behind me, Baby!"

We are way over on the right, "calmly" awaiting the start gun.

I was this close to catching this hot chick in front of me! If I didn't have to make this pit-stop, I could be drafting off her now ......

It was hot, even with the cold-water sponge shoulder pads.


Post-race sharing of tales at Shoulte's.

Ah, basking in the glory of a post-race day, some sunshine and Lake Placid Ale.


Support crews deserve a ton of applause too!
