"Albany to Lake Placid".....for dummies

OUCH OUCH OUCH I don't know who said airline pilot is, but said person should be damn ashamed of being a pilot. Didn't this person also come up about 7 miles short on a particular Cycle for Sight 75-miler? I don't think this person follows directions very well. Maybe the pilot is due to get said party's EYES checked Stay away from Wrong Ways Airlines, located in Terminal B, Logan Airport. Be glad you land in the correct country if you do!

Or maybe Party #2 was TRYING go get us off track!! Yes Party #2 kicked Pilot's ass by 10 minutes, but pilot also beat said author, AKA O.P. otherwise known as Original Poster, by approximately that same amount of time! Hmmmmmmmmm??? Maybe if OP quit flirting and chatting up with the pretty ladies at the race, and JUST FRIKING RUN, he'd have done that 2:05!

Or did OP run slower because he LOST HIS (illegal) MP3 player on the course?!! 

AND

Good damn thing that on this 2006 IM Reconnaisance Sortie, that said pilot has decided to forego the highly touted IM USA course, as as an athlete, (s)he is in fact not interested in looking for her T2 in Nigara Falls. I shall recommend to her IM FL, there will be NO HILLS there to obscure important signage.

I bet that is why Party #2 navigated pilot in the wrong direction. DAMN HILLS hiding the signs. THAT'S IT!

ROFLMAO!!!

You have to understand one thing, drivers from Massachusetts are directionally impaired.  Have you ever tried to get anywhere in that state?  It's a toss up which state has the worst road signs, Massachusetts or New Jersey.  My worst getting lost stories are from those two states.

Besides pilots don't follow signs.  Have you ever seen a sign on a cloud saying "turn here for Lake Placid'?  They get the control center to tell them where they are.  Next time load your bikes on her plane, and have her fly you there.

Now that I am home and able to defend myself, I STILL claim that I was asleep when the alleged exit was missed!

All I know is it looks like I  missed a lot of parties.

I will vouch for the severity of the hills (2 of them). Who woulda figured they'd make us run up the ski jump?

Whats it worth to ya to hear about the return trip Max? (Blocked in by a parade, Interstate detours, traffic back-ups, yada-yada-yada).  Had Wrong-Way Feldman not gone supersonic returning me to the airport, I would have been driving thru Niagra Falls tonite to get home. 

But I must say in all sincerity, I did appreciate the saving of rental car cost thru someone's generosity.  What is that saying about "no good deed goes unpunished"?

And I really did enjoy meeting up with you and Patti, Max!   One cool thing about this website is the new friends you make at races or training events, that although you've never actually met them, you feel like you've known them a long time.
