In addition to wearing an ID tag by RoadID, it’s also advisable to wear as much reflective clothing as you can. Many running shoes and items of apparel are already decorated with reflective strips and logos, but one of the best things you can do is attach a bright light download jungle 2 jungle free to your waistband, pocket, shirt collar or hat.

Your First Triathlon by Joe Friel
download Syriana I still vividly remember my first triathlon “way back” in the year 2000 and how scary it all was. Will I be able to finish the swim? Will I find my bike in the transition area? Will I get busted for “drafting” Will I have any legs left for the run? These were just some of the questions racing through my head in the weeks leading up to race day.
Back in 2000 there was plenty of information online for “newbies” like myself, but good books were few and far between. Not so now of course, and “Your First Triathlon” by Joe Friel will be a great starting point if you’re looking to do your first Sprint distance triathlon anytime soon.

"Steve Speirs, you are an Ironman!"
At around 7:20pm on Sunday July 25th, 2005, my dream of becoming an Ironman finally became a reality. With 140.6 miles of swimming, biking and running behind me, I crossed the finish line in 12 hours, 19 minutes and 58 seconds. What a feeling! My race stats can be seen below and a full race report will follow sometime in the near future. For now I’m just enjoying the moment……

Ironman USA Lake Placid Swim Course [2.4 miles]
Well, as race day approaches, I’m starting to think more and more about what I have ahead of me. The 2.4 mile swim will be the first challenge of the day. Initially when I signed up for Ironman USA, the swim leg concerned me the most. I’ve never been a strong swimmer and the days of not being able to swim 50m in one effort are not too distant a memory. Now I have 2×1.2 mile loops of Mirror Lake to get through before I can even think of the 112 mile bike ride and 26.2 marathon.
From what I’ve read and heard from people I talk to (thanks Burley!), Mirror Lake is crystal clear, calm and clean. It is used for several different water events so there are permanent underwater ropes connected to buoys along the whole length of the course. Apparently there are flags attached to the buoys every 100m so you know exactly where you are all of the time. The only possible downside is everyone knows all about the magic ropes, so I’m sure it’s going to be really crowded on the inside.
