IM Lake Placid new swim start: Thoughts

Ironman Lake Placid (2013) was the first time Karel and I shared an Ironman event together...on the same course. Talk about an emotional day for us both, me competing in my 6th Ironman with Karel on the sidelines for 4 of them (IMFL, IMKY, IMWI, KONA) and now sharing the same course together for his very first 140.6 mile event. I can't believe it was almost a month ago! My hubby is amazing in many ways and makes my life so much fun (even in the most stressful of times).

Not limited to athletics, instead of complaining about situations, he figures out how to survive with the best effort possible.   I loved watching Karel in cycling races (cat 1) and always loved to hear about the race afterward for cycling is the type of sport where you never know how the race will turn out until ever rider crosses the finish line.  Webster Roubaix  was one of those races that I remember...
