LAKE PLACID IM 2016 roommate Please
Hi Lake Placid peeps,
I was going to sign up for CDA and just noticed IMLP id still open! I would LOVE to do this race with the EN crew and the only thing in my way is I travel solo and Placid is very expensive. I know this may be late notice, but if there's a rental situation and room for one more I'd be so happy. Another option is sharing the cost of a hotel I guess. IM website doesn't have lodging posted yet.
I am open to input or advice but need to make a decision this week.
Thanks!
Dana

Dana,
Last year there were few team mates who rented house which was a great way to lower the cost in Lake Placid. If my wife and I had been organized I'm sure that's were I would have been. There were also a couple other instances a people looking for roommates if I recall correctly.
The thread was in the Lake Placid forum check it out. I'm not sure if all or any of them are coming back again this year but I'm sure there will be some interest for a roommate.
Edit: I just noticed you want to get organized with in a week. Hopefully someone has a room they want to share.

I want to thank you for taking the time to respond to my inquiry. This has not been my experience with EN that 50 people hit an thread and only ONE person offers advice. Most people read a post that they're somehow involved in, like they're doing the race themselves. It's possible that 50 people were just curious who was looking for a roommate for IMLP BUT not actually doing the race.
I just know there's a BOAT load of EN peep's going to LP including BOTH coaches, so I though I'd get a little more input.
Again, thanks so much for attempting to steer me in the right direction, super thoughtful!
Take care,
Dana
I rented a house with 4 teammates last year. This year i booked two rooms at the Golden Arrow.
a few suggestions are that you should join this group on FB - https://www.facebook.com/groups/335682819921269/
Most everyone there is really positive and good people, there might be someone with a spot, lastly, i wouldn't sweat it, there are always cancellations & if you keep posting in that group, you should be able to find a reasonable room situation as we get closer.
if you want to PM me, we can make a time to connect by phone and I can tell you what i know of the landscape up there.
Lastly, when you fly to LP from the west coast, you have two choices - 1 is to go to NYC and then deal with a 6 hr drive up to LP, or fly to Albany NY and drive about 2ish hours...
I live about 45 mins north of the city and have 3 extra rooms if you need a place to crash for a few days before heading up, but alas, this year, I have no room in the car.. as I am going up with my GF & her 2 kids
Now this is the EN spirit I've grown to appreciate. I'll PM you and hopefully we can connect live. I've traveled to multiple IM's solo, however logistically IMLP is a different venture.
