There are two organized, pay-your-own-way opportunities that I know about from the www.beginnertriathlete.com site; * one on June 13 to 15 (http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=109018) * one the next weekend, June 20-22 (http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=108994&posts=14&start=1). Does anyone have definite plans to go on either one? Are there others that anyone knows about? As a first timer I welcome any advice or suggestions and am interested in reading the experiences of LP training trips from those who have done any. Fishrocker/Doug

I suppose there's probably a zillion triathletes up there doing this sort of thing from now to the race, hunh? Anybody else?

There's an organized 1/2 marathon on Sunday 6/20, too (details at www.lakeplacidmarathon.com). Miro, you'll just have to miss my magical charming rather annoying companionship. Dave, if you or any other dudes are interested in commuting/hoteling/etc I'm sure to scam you partner (Dave - remember to bring your poom pooms).

The swim course is usually in by then. My uncles live up there and have done the race a bunch of times so they have promised me a tour of the course (I have ridden it, but I am sure I would get lost out there alone). So if anyone wants a more casual experience, you can join the three Cassots as we tour the greater Keane Valley (oh, and I am already planning on riding my brakes down that hill, thank you very much). That Half marathon on the 20th is not, I dont think, the same course as the Ironman.

I don't know how 'camp'-esque I'll be, I just didn't know what else to call this little plan. I'd be interested to meet up and/or meet your uncles and hear about their experiences. Maybe you'll be (un)lucky enough to spot me 'training' (read: weeping and wailing on the road and in the water). And hey - I hear folks get up to sustained 50+ MPH speeds on that big downhill!

I originally had it booked for $135 and when I found out about the special rate and called them about it, they reduced the rate for me back to $79 as well.

From what I remeber it follows the same route as the IM but the turnaround point was different as was the finish. Someone please correct me on this if I am incorrect as I have never done the IMLP race just going on what I was told when there. OH and the Keene hill scared the .... outa me the first time I went down it. The next time I had to see how fast I could go, knowing the turns etc.

But I can tell you I will not be in my aerobars going down that monster. I may not ride my brakes, but I will be tappin' em. No sense dying BEFORE the run. Doug, if you want to set up something before we head up, send me an email and we can work something out. Maybe Ed and Paul (my uncles) can collect some of their other friends who have finished and we can have a party...er...seminar. my email is rcassot@morrisonmahoney.com
