What We Do 4 Fun!

Several people have asked me lately what I do for fun up here in Lake Placid… I’ve always described it as a great vacation destination but over time it can become tiresome. Heck, the closest Target or Wendy’s is almost an hour away in Plattsburgh. This summer has been surprisingly entertaining and I attribute that to the group of athletes that are here. It's easy to get stuck in the training center and watch TV because you're tired but if you force yourself to get out it's SO worth it! We’ve all had a ton of fun together… We push each other on the track and in the weight room, which is definitely our first priority. So, on days where we’re exhausted, it’s trips to the $6 movie theater, mini golf, bowling, laying on the beach or a ride on John’s boat around the Lake (which happens to be docked in front of the best old-school ice cream parlor in the world!) Yummmm. There’s also 25 cent WING NIGHT at Lisa G’s every Monday evening - A MUST! ! When we have a little more energy, it’s tubing, wake-boarding, swimming in Mirror Lake, paddle boarding, 9 holes of golf, cliff jumping or rollerblading around the Olympic speed skating oval. I'm currently organizing a white water rafting and camping trip for September!! We’ve been really active despite the excessive rain, which has been so great! I got a new camera for my birthday so I threw together a few pics and clips of our adventures…. There are also a few scenes from the Lake Placid IRONMAN that was here two weeks ago!!
