  • 7:00 AM - The start. And you thought WWF 'rasslin' was violent.
  • Life-guarding the leaders. The only way to avoid the violence was to go out fast.

  • Pro Woman ready to snag her feed musette bag
  • Go Speed Racer
  • Pro woman. She was 31st overall, and the second placed woman. Her marathon portion was 3:03:37. Good grief.

  • Age Grouper
  • Great sign!
  • Approaching the top of Papa Bear Hill for the first time. The woman stoking the tandem (back seat) is blind. She was a finisher as you'll see later in this gallery!
  • The rider in the foreground is a Pro Class. He is on his second lap of the 56 mile bike course, and is passing a guy in the Clydesdale Category of the 40-45 yr Division who is on his first lap. This is on Papa Bear Hill, the last tough hill coming into Lake Placid after climbing up from Wilmington. The Pro finished 5th overall at 9:10:48. The Clydesdale FINISHED 2440th overall at 16:38:57. You got that, right? He finished an Ironman . . . Chapeau, Big Dude!
  • 90 Degree left turn after cresting Papa Bear. There were cops here slowing the riders!
  • Male Pro Leader at the time this photo was taken. I think he faded to third.
  • The run into town along Mirror Lake Drive. High speeds here.
