Nothing says Madison like this. A beautiful scene just up from the Ironman Finish Line. 
The Finish Line going up.
This has me seriously contemplating watching the swim from my hotel room.
Lake Monona in all its glory. Just a crisp, blue (with a hint of an orange ski jump) a far as you can see.
Another shot of the state capital on a beautiful Fall day in Madison.
Say what you want about Ironman, but they get $35 for a shirt while most races give them away. I definitely like this year’s version in black.

Hope you had a great race! I signed up! Crazy? I said never again but I did it! Thanks for the inspiration!
