Lake Placid IM Race Recap

Our gang of supporters got to Mirror Lake (the site of the swim) around 6am. It rained off and on so I was worried that it was going to be a repeat of last year's day-long downpour, but the rain finally stopped a little after 7am. Steve finished his 2.4 mile swim in about 1 hour 30 minutes - much faster than we all anticipated.
The 112 mile bike took him about 6.5 hours. We found a good spot to catch him go by and were able to see him once on each 56 mile loop.


Steve stopped to talk to us around mile 13 of the 26.2 mile run. He was cramping a lot and was having to take more walk breaks than he expected. Despite this, he still managed to finish his first Ironman in just under 14 hours (13 hours, 59 minutes, and 41 seconds to be exact).
