Crash

Due to a server crash the Ironman Lake Placid website had last week, Community Fund participants data was lost and not able to be retrieved. So, I had to register again. Bad omen? No, I just filled in my name, address and insurance information again.

One thing I noticed later, and apparently others noticed earlier, is that on the participant list it even lists your occupation. You don't have to fill out this field, but I think some people made the most out of their second chance at this description. Here are some of the occupations of the people signed up for the event:

"Nurse/Fitness Instructor"

"Evil Scientist"

"Wikipedia Fact Checker"

"Businessman"

"Assistance to the Regional Manager"

"Samurai"

"Good Deed Doer"

"Triathlete (And Recreational Dentist)"

"Fortune Teller" (Probably the best occupation to have going into a race like this)

"Shape Shifter"

"Duke of Awesomeness"

"Professional Thumb Wrestler"

"Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor"

"Bathroom Attendant"

"Cat Whisperer"

"Pirate"

"Intergalactic Law Enforcement"

"Columbian Drug Lord"

"Gremlin Keeper"

"Professional Unicycle Mechanic"

"Goat Herder"

Sounds like a bit of a mixed bag. Let's race clowns.
