A couple Ommegangsters decided to head out for some long endurance type sufferenjoyment in the form of the Wilderness 101 MTB race (as in 101 miles) while another tackled a fairly well know triathlon called IronMan USA (as in 2.4 mi swim, 112 mi bike, 26.2 mi run).
Fred H and Tim O participated in the 101 down in State College, PA with some great results (especially considering Tim had a slew of mechanicals). Both finished within the top 50 of a field of almost 200 finishers.
While the MTB boys were spending 7-8 hours in the saddle in the woods, Ommegangster "K" was up Lake Placid way "only" spending 5 hrs and 44 min on the bike .. after a 2.4 mile swim. And when the bike was over, he put in a sub 4 hr marathon for a damn respectable IM result.
