As it is more than a month since the race and it was a VERY busy, long day, this post will sadly include a lot less than if I had done it in a more timely (and less rushed) manner. I woke up very early to get a parking spot in one of the 3Continue reading “LP 2023: IM Race Day”

Plan for Saturday was a bike ride, I had only my gravel bike so didn’t want to do too many hills but in the Adirondacks even a flat ride has hills! I biked into town and around Mirror Lake and then did a loop in Saranac Lake. There was a nice art show and farmersContinue reading “LP 2023, Day 3/6, July 22”

I am not a big Mets fan, my grandfather and father made me a solid Yankees fan. My dad even took me and my sister to the World Series in 1977 and 1978. She was at the Reggie 3 Home Run game but they just heard it in the parking lot in a rush toContinue reading “Lets Go METS! July 1st”

We retraced our route back through Amagansett, East Hampton and Bridgehampton… roads still pretty empty this early in the morning. Later in the day Montauk Highway becomes a traffic jam … I always assumed they were built by Dutch settlers… We got back to my uncle’s (Stephen and Richard) house in time for me toContinue reading “It is a LOOOONG Island ….

ACH! It is July 30th and I was just planning to finish up blog entries for days 2,3,4,5,6 of my camping/volunteering visit to Lake Placid last week and in “drafts” on the WordPress app I found this one that I never even really started, much less finished! This morning it was peaceful and I couldContinue reading “A NY State of mind for 1100 miles … 🎶 REDISCOVERED!”

I am back in Lake Placid to volunteer at the Ironman. It is 7 years since I did my first IM here and this will be the third time I volunteer. Last year I was up here only Friday to Monday and for a 6 hour drive it seemed too short. This year I arrivedContinue reading “Lake Placid 2023! Day 1/6”

I am working tomorrow AND Friday this week (although I should do ok as i worked 6 days in a row in Fiji on the medical mission with Loloma Foundation) so i want to at least finish up the last day in Fiji post today. https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=894077468354435&source_name=SHARE_LINKContinue reading “Last day in Fiji 🇫🇯”

I am writing “now” at 10am Saturday June 3rd. Last day in Fiji 🇫🇯 :((( I ended my last blog about Thursday morning hikes at the Matei airport where I was waiting for my car to the dock to catch boat to Maqai. My driver showed up exactly at 2pm and we had a pleasantContinue reading “Maqai Beach Eco Surf Resort!”
