2018 Ironman Lake Placid Rollcall......Who's in for the 20th IMLP?= - TMinus 9 Months

Brenda Ross · July 26, 2017 7:26PM

Yes, your legs are sore; you have blisters and rashes in places that only a post race shower can discover; and your statement of “I’m never doing another one of these again” are all becoming a distant memory, although it has only be about 48-72hours.

Don’t act like you’re not thinking about it. Who’s in for 2018?

And for those of you lurking at home...and were inspired by your teammates...did you pull the trigger?!

scott dinhofer · July 26, 2017 10:04PM

Punched the ticket yesterday, have 2 rooms at the golden arrow, but open to considering a team house again!

tim cronk · July 26, 2017 10:30PM

Well I'm pretty sure you can't sucker me into imlp next year but I will most likely be present to support!

scott dinhofer · July 26, 2017 11:45PM

@tim cronk - I don't think I suckered you into it this year... If I look back, the conversation was you coming in support and then you were like "I just can't not race... " no pressure speedy man...

Trish Marshall · July 27, 2017 12:29AM

considering.

Gordon Cherwoniak · July 27, 2017 1:47AM

I'm trying to stick to my word and do a 1/2 or less next year. I'm sure I could get spousal approval as the mother in law really wants to come, unfortunately this year the father in law has some medical issues and could not attend so basically a free pass to do the race again some time.

scott dinhofer · July 27, 2017 9:25AM

@Gordon Cherwoniak - the training build will be nothing without your mojo... how do we twist your arm?

Joseph Lombardi · July 27, 2017 12:27PM

I would love to go back and seek revenge, improvement....this one got me...I need to get it back

Jubal Dais · July 29, 2017 2:39PM

I'm in for 2018. Booked at golden arrow

Alicia Chase · July 29, 2017 4:36PM

Considering. Plan was to do Syracuse and LP 70.3s next year, then IMLP in 2019 when I age up to 60. Syracuse never opens early, but rumor mill is saying LP 70.3 may move to June and replace Syracuse. I really don't believe it, but if it happened, as a teacher who can't travel between September and June, it wouldn't leave me with many good Ironman 70.3 options (I'm not a strong swimmer and I've been to Maine in August. The water is freezing!) Considering registering for IMLP, then I'd have the deferral option if I needed it.

Paul Hough · July 29, 2017 6:04PM

20th IMLP or 1st IM Norway, hmmm? I will be at Haugesund if anyone is interested.

Bill Schleining · July 31, 2017 1:10AM

I'm in for 2018. Will be #4. Skipped this year (but was in town volunteering). Missed racing with the team & looking forward to ramping up for next July.

this is the one US IM you should be doing... transfer your registration!

Gordon Cherwoniak · August 1, 2017 4:04AM

Apparently I'm not totally convinced I'm out. Looked up the registration website and they are at tier 3 after 1/2 day open. I did resist and closed the web page. Honestly I need to work on getting faster and a 70.3 or shorter season allows me more options to do that, but the 20th anniversary is calling to me.

Satish Punna · August 1, 2017 11:58AM

When the kids are grown and summers are mine I'm in! Sign me up for 25th IMLP in 2023

Rory Gumina · August 4, 2017 8:29PM

I'm in ...

Alicia Chase · August 4, 2017 9:16PM

Pulled the trigger. May use the deferral, but looks like next year is the year. So many people I know are doing it.

Brian Gaffin · August 5, 2017 4:09AM

I'm in!

DANIEL MOLINA · August 6, 2017 2:45AM

Heading back to Lake Placid for 2018!

Gary Lewis · August 6, 2017 9:57PM

I'm seriously considering it. Housing prices seem extremely high to bring the family. Does EN typically rent houses together Where does everyone stay? How close?

scott dinhofer · August 7, 2017 1:16AM

@Gary Lewis people have done houses together. You can rent in saranac lake, Jay or willmington and save $, but drive 20 mins to town.

Gary Lewis · August 9, 2017 2:46AM

OK, after reviewing every IM possibility with my wife this morning we decided on Lake Placid. I registered today.

Now you need to find housing -

if anyone wants to consider a group house, I might be able to be talked into it. My only qualification is that it has to be in LP & walking distance (under 1/2 mile) to the oval

Gary Lewis · August 11, 2017 12:52AM

@Scott Dinhofer I booked a room at "The Haus" on Main Street, Two bedroom gives me flexibility and I can cancel before April with no penalty.

Gary Lewis · June 25, 2018 3:59PM

Its now T minus 26 days. The bib list is out and there are lots of people racing but very few in the GroupMe.

If you're racing, come join us in GroupMe. I can use all of the MOJO there is, and I'll even buy you a beer in LP.

Gordon Cherwoniak · June 25, 2018 6:43PM

@Gary Lewis You can have all of my LP MOJO as I won't be there this year. Just a few more key workout so it's getting close to where you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Wish I could be there to race with the team, perhaps I'll be back in 2019 or 2020.

Brenda Ross · July 3, 2018 3:35PM

bribery will get you everywhere @Gary Lewis

Jacklyn Moore · July 3, 2018 10:09PM

@Brenda Ross Should super sherpas join the Groupme too?

Gary Lewis · July 4, 2018 12:16AM

@Jacklyn Moore yes you should.
