2005  |  We're Gonna Need Another Boat ....  Part I: The Paddleboat

Something new has been added.  Pat and Marcia collected another new boat, a charming paddleboat.  It was a big hit in its maiden year on Mt Arab Lake. 

2005  |  The Ironman

On the last weekend in July, Lake Placid holds its annual Ironman Triathlon: a 2.4 mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike ride in the Adirondack mountains, capped off with a full 26.2 mile marathon.  You have to be certifiedly crazy to do it.   But, Marcia's brother Chip was a participant and he finished!  We got there about 7:30 in the morning to see him climb out of the water after the swimming portion.  He then hit the bike for 112 miles (see all those hills and mountains!?!?!!!), which took him till mid afternoon.  Then the actual full marathon.  Yikes.
