Lake Placid Training Camp

Spent last weekend in Lake Placid with some great training partners. We lucked out with some great weather and as promised by the Mirror Lake Inn staff-mirror lake was WARM!!! We got there Friday afternoon-swam 2 loops of the swim course (2.4miles) then headed out for a 40 mile ride. The roads in Placid were a MESS! Huge cracks everywhere-it was sunny and the trees combined with the sun made it really hard to see-lots of weird shady spots. I was very nervous riding over those cracks-and there was more traffic than usual with it being memorial day weekend. Saturday we rode 100 miles and then ran off the bike. The bridge on the out and back to hassleton was being repaired so we had to do this ridiculous 5 mile loop 4 times to make up the distance. As Barb said, "it felt like groundhog day"! Sunday was a 14 mile run followed by a 2 loop swim. Good times were had by all.
