mile swim, followed by an incredible 112 mile bike ride.&#60;o:p&#62;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: 10pt;

&#60;/span&#62;That&#38;rsquo;s the event that I&#38;rsquo;ve done several times.&#60;o:p&#62;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: 10pt;

&#60;/span&#62;In the days before the race, I had plied the swim course, and found it one of the smoothest most delightful swim experiences of my life, after remorselessly orbiting in chlorinated pools and in choppy ocean waters.&#60;o:p&#62;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: 10pt;

&#60;/span&#62;Incredibly, David maintained his pace, and as he passed our cottage a couple of times we tried to buoy his soggy spirits, but he appeared undaunted as he flashed us the V sign. &#60;o:p&#62;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: 10pt;

&#60;/span&#62;Many competitors are in their 50s. Professionals complete the three segments in just over eight hours, and David did it in eleven and change, a very respectable time, and a personal best.&#60;span style=""&#62;&#38;nbsp; &#60;/span&#62;&#60;o:p&#62;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&#62;&#60;o:p&#62;&#38;nbsp;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&#62;The course remains open from the 7:00 AM start time until midnight, allowing a few stragglers to cross the finish line to applause after an amazing 17 hours of non-stop exertion. &#60;span style=""&#62;&#38;nbsp;&#60;/span&#62;We saw a female contestant stumble toward the finish line on rubbery legs, fall to the ground twice, and amidst roaring cheers from the crowd, get up again and propel herself forward across the line.&#60;span style=""&#62;&#38;nbsp; &#60;/span&#62;&#60;o:p&#62;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&#62;&#60;o:p&#62;&#38;nbsp;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&#62;The sport has gone from a freak aberration for hammerheads to such an incredibly popular sport that race entries sell out on the internet within minutes of opening up.&#60;span style=""&#62;&#38;nbsp; &#60;/span&#62;There are dozens of events world-wide, and athletes frequently travel thousands of miles to compete.&#60;o:p&#62;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&#62;&#60;o:p&#62;&#38;nbsp;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&#62;For my part, I found the athletes inspiring.&#60;span style=""&#62;&#38;nbsp; &#60;/span&#62;While I&#38;rsquo;ll never do a full Iron man, I think of their incredible determination whenever I feel &#38;ldquo;gassed&#38;rdquo; while running, biking or swimming.&#60;span style=""&#62;&#38;nbsp; &#60;/span&#62;I tasted the hills of Lake Placid on an abbreviated bike ride on part of the race course, ran around &#60;st1:place w:st="on"&#62;&#60;st1:placename w:st="on"&#62;Mirror&#60;/st1:placename&#62; &#60;st1:placetype w:st="on"&#62;Lake&#60;/st1:placetype&#62;&#60;/st1:place&#62; for a fraction of the marathon distance, and swam the lake.&#60;span style=""&#62;&#38;nbsp; &#60;/span&#62;And the next time I get caught in a summer rain shower without an umbrella, I&#38;rsquo;ll remember these intrepid contestants going a whole day in a downpour wearing nothing but sleeveless spandex jerseys, and I&#38;rsquo;ll just shrug it off.&#60;span style=""&#62;&#38;nbsp; &#60;/span&#62;&#60;o:p&#62;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&#62;&#60;o:p&#62;&#38;nbsp;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&#62;So whatever your personal Iron Man is, whether it&#38;rsquo;s committing to a 20 minute mall walk three times a week, or trying a fifteen mile bike ride, or running on the treadmill for a couple of miles, be inspired and BRING IT!&#60;o:p&#62;&#60;/o:p&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;]]></description>
