Ironman Lake Placid : Official Thread (Page 93)

The only way to get better at climbing is to climb.  I climbed this morning.

This is Lake Desolation (fitting for the name) it's a CAT 2 hill...and it shows when you get to the top.  This morning was the first time I was able to complete it without having to stop and rest part way up.  I've tried 2 other times and got it handed to me...not today!

Lap 2 was from the base to the lake.

Weather prediction for my half ironman distance race this weekend:

"The weather forecast has changed for the worst.  Right now the winds are howling, it is pouring and about 55 degrees.  They are calling for rain all weekend, but it will be in the mid to upper 60's so please be prepared for these conditions.  These can be as challenging as heat and humidity.  We will be update in the final email you will receive along with official water temp as well as any other pertinent information Friday Night.  Currently the H20 is 65 and falling due to the east winds. Winds between 20-30 mph WNW on Sunday."

Not to mention there is also a small craft advisory on Lake Erie with waves between 4-8 feet. Should be an interesting one!

I have had a couple of requests for updates on how I'm doing so here goes...The ankle/shin is slowly getting better. Still some pain when I put my full weight on it but measurably better than four weeks ago. I ditched the air cast and crushes and will go back to see the Doc probably next week. I'm guessing another two to three weeks before I'm back on the bike. It's a beautiful day in Minneapolis today and the outside pool is open, I couldn't resist so went for my first swim in a month. Wow it was great to be doing something again. I've been living vicariously through your logs and posts, it's been fun watching everyone progress over the last month. Only a little more than a month of hard training left, everybody looks like they are doing great, keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the support!
