So... I waited in a cafe in Ireland and at 5pm local time I logged in and got in! Now there's nowhere to stay. Everything booked on VRBO. Where does one stay?

I just finished on sunday and I am still here currenly...I FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, not the reason why i am responding lol

I am staying in a house through www.adkbyowner.com

amazing house on lake ...take a look...only problem is some rentals are sat-sat so you may have to do what i did...get a hotel for that 1-2 nights...I just arrived on friday.

I had one reserved in plattsburgh(1 hr away) but on monday of the race I got one in saranac(10 min away)

good luck

I just rented a house in Wilmington for the week. Also a Sat - Sat rental so I may or may not get a place somewhere for Friday night.

Another option if you are into it is camping. I volunteered this year and stayed at Wilmington Notch Campground. Its nothing spectacular but they did have a hot shower, flush toilets and a place for a tent...Cost was much cheaper than a hotel at $18 a night.

Just booked at the comfort inn. About a mile from the start. Everything is sold out or super expensive.

I odn't know about IM's, but my friend who is doing the 70.3 at Steelhead is doing a homestay program - maybe that could be an option

My parents have a house on that site. They're a bit far out for most IM athletes, being between Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake, although I stayed there in 2006 and didn't mind it a bit. The upside is that they don't have a minimum during IM week.

Just keep looking - things will open up eventually. I did IMLP this year, and we only booked ours (through VRBO) a few months ago. Be prepared to pay an arm and a leg, though.

I stayed at a little place in Keene Valley, it was almost all people doing the IM. Was nice and far more reasonably priced than things in Lake Placid, but driving into town and finding parking for registration and bike drop off was a pain, the day of the shuttle buses worked well.

I have a hotel room to give up. Comfort Inn, three nights, Fri, Sat and Sun. Think it's $269 night. Email me if you know someone who needs a room. [email protected]
