 14 |  Subject: RE: Ironman Lake Placid : Official ThreadThere's a great vibe up here and those bags do rock. Question, I saw people walking around with 2011 IMLP finisher shirts. Do we get a finisher shirt post race or is that something we have to buy? |

Regular 136  | Subject: RE: Ironman Lake Placid : Official Thread You will get a finisher shirt when you cross the finish line and then the following morning you can buy lots more finisher stuff if that interests you! Have fun this weekend! |

Expert 908 Niskayuna, New York | Subject: RE: Ironman Lake Placid : Official Thread Been here since yesterday, the weather is amazing and the city has a quiet energy too it. I imagine it will become quite hectic by Saturday. Is it impossible to get a table to eat in town that night? I always take 2 days before a big race off, but I may head down to the beach to say hi tomorrow! |

Do I need to keep reapplying before each swim or just every so often? |

| Huntington Beach, CA | Subject: RE: Ironman Lake Placid : Official Thread Was nice meeting some of you guys this morning. Got there little late as parking was harder to find than I thought. The water felt super warm to me, almost like a pool. After swimming a lap I felt if I had my wetsuit and another lap, it might have started to feel uncomfortably warm. Only reason I'm considering using it now would be because it takes the annoyance of having to put on my shirt and hr strap on. Also making the swim feel that much easier...might take a 10 min swim with it on tomorrow to test but we'll see. Hope everyone else is enjoying the festivities and preparing for Sunday. |

I'll be wearing Rusty's BT tatoo and will look for you all out there! Thanks for all your support! Edit: I'm staying at Water's Edge Way, nice condo on the water.

Extreme Veteran 567 Rochester, NY | Subject: RE: Ironman Lake Placid : Official Thread Great Pic!!! Can you email me a copy of it?
Kathy - I'm the one wearing the black wetsuit
It was great meeting all of you yesterday. I thought the swim went great, if I could do that same thing tomorrow it would be an awesome swim. Now if I could stay behind Kent I may actually come out of the water towards the front Have a good relaxing day today, since I won't be doing much but checking in my bike/gear. I'll probably be on here most of the day. If I don't see or talk to any of you today, have a great race tomorrow and I'll be looking for the tattoos |

Regular 113 NYC | Subject: RE: Ironman Lake Placid : Official Thread The lake temp is perfect, weather is great and the roads look good. Seems like it will be an awesome day tomorrow. Hope everyone has their feet up today and are resting up for tomorrow's fun. I'll be at Run Aide Station #3 on River Road. Best of luck everyone! Have fun. When you do your race reports it could be helpful if you post on this thread about where you stayed and your review of the place. Next years BTers would find it helpful to hear yor insight on lodging, rentals, condos, etc. |
