On The Waterfront …

… Greg Lee and I saw three workers setting up orange fence to block casual observers from entering Ironman Coeur d’Alene tent city and bike transition area at City Park/Beach during our noon walk today. They were pulling pieces of the orange fence from a big yellow park parked on the Centennial Trail between City Park and City Beach. Elsewhere, four workers were hanging advertising banners from the portable white fence now separating the east end of City Park from North Idaho Museum. A white fence now stands on the edge of the sidewalk on Northwest Boulevard in front of Park View Towers. Few people on the watefront today, as a result of the rain. Greg asked an older swimmer standing on City Beach about the water. He said it was fine, maybe 63 degrees. Good for Ironman. One swimmer in a wet suit was splashing on the lake.

DFO: The old Ironman Coeur d’Alene route north of town was a bother re: trying to get around the area. But I do miss hanging out at the Coeur d’Alene Bible Church barbecue while watching the bicycle portion of the ride.

Question: Do you plan to watch any portion of Ironman Coeur d’Alene?
