Lake City Escape
At IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d’Alene, you’ll exchange ease for beauty, average for iconic. But challenging yourself on this historic course is not without its rewards. Coeur d’Alene is truly an idyllic lakeside retreat, boasting jaw-dropping natural beauty, endless opportunities for recreation, and top-notch shopping and dining. On race day, you and your crew will appreciate the centrally located single transition, perfect for high-fives and photo ops, while you take on the 1.2-mile swim in pristine Lake Coeur d’Alene, the 56-mile ride through challenging yet scenic Idaho terrain, and the 13.1-mile run past historic lakefront homes and boisterous spectators. Your last strides will be downhill toward the raucous, award-winning finish line. Yes, you’ll work hard for those 70.3 miles, but there’s no better place to recover than this little city on the lake.

The wind was very strong in the morning and the swim had to be cut to 500 m only. It was a very interesting swim as my body was getting slapped by waves and other swimmers. The bike ride is very hilly and headwinds until mile 36, but the scenery was great. The run was fine, but I am not a fan of courses that have many turns (it make you feel every mile is longer). I should have been less conservative on my run and bike, and I paid the price with my finish time.

This race is my new favorite. Everything about this event is great. Well deserved designation as “best” in many athlete polls. The venue, production and course are ALL ideal for a 70.3. Just enough challenge to support the training. Weather & climate were perfect. I didn’t want to leave the venue after the race. The village was located in a beach park that makes it easy to lounge around and enjoy recovering under the pines. I’ll be coming back!
