Lake Placid, New York

Notre Dame MBA investment guru, Minnesota native and friend, Dan Arlandson, took 14th place in the Ironman Lake Placid competition. That's out of almost 2000 competitors! Just think - 2000 people wanted to spend over 10 hours running, cycling and swimming. I've heard the swimming can be rough - choppy water and people kicking you - so I have a new suit idea for Dan that will keep him afloat. Safety first!
