Many of us have made the trek to the Lake Placid Ironman. I think it has become the team destination of choice if you are doing an IM. And if you have been there you know that one of the highlights is the beauty of the area. Lake Placid and neighboring towns have embraced the IM and their community support has been overwhelming with over 3,500 local volunteers. Last week the area suffered some severe storm damage due to Hurricane Irene.
The World Triathlon Corp and the Ironman foundation will donate $5,000. They have also created a website for others to give back to this community and you can see pictures of some of the damage. Your donation is 100% tax deductible. I encourage you to give whatever amount you can to this worthwhile campaign. The Tri-Dawgs will be sending a team donation as well.
