“Ironman Coeur d’Alene will begin with the elite athletes spilling into Lake Coeur d’Alene en masse at 7 a.m. Sunday,” reports Councilwoman KerriT/ OnLocation North Idaho . “I love seeing the sea of humanity as nearly 2,000 wet-suited competitors flow like lava off of city beach into the water for their 2-mile swim. Amazing to think that many of them will not be crossing the finish line in downtown Coeur d’Alene for at least 12 hours from the time they hit the water for the swim leg. They will ride 112 miles on bicycles and then run a full 26.2 mile marathon before being declared Ironmen.”
