Lake Placid

Some superb news from Lake Placid .. my brother has signed up to race there in 2011. It will be his first Ironman.

John was there in Forster, Australia when Margreet and I finished our first Ironman in 2002 and we'll make every effort to be there to support him.

It's a decision you won't regret little brother. Ironman has changed my life. There's nothing that I can't fathom trying and that's what life is all about.

Believe in yourself and you can achieve greatness.

Another bit of good news from Lake Placid was that Lisa Marangon came in third overall and got a spot to Kona. She last raced there as an age grouper, this year will be her first appearance as a pro.

We've watched her develop as an athlete and the challenges of life that she's accepted with a fierce determination and endless enthusiasm.

Lisa is an inspirational athlete and mom. A very well grounded person who's worked very hard for her successes in the sport.

Here is a link to Lisa's site.
