The
Ironman Coeur d'Alene is a year
since 2003, held in June triathlon
sports event over the Ironman
distance (3.86 km swim, 180.2 km
cycling, 42,195 km run) in Idaho in
the United States. This event is
organized by the World Triathlon
Corporation (WTC) and the next
Ironman competition takes place on
26 June . The swim course is two
laps in the Coeur d'Alene Lake. The
bike course stretches along just
over two laps of the Coeur d'Alene
Lake and Hayden Lake. Finally, the
run course runs over the marathon
distance in two rounds at the Coeur
d'Alene Lake.
All of
the courses at Ford Ironman Coeur
d'Alene are two-loop affairs, and
both the bike and the run pass by
the finish line and transition area
four times, so spectators are in for
a great day. The bike course is more
challenging than it initially would
appear. The course is very
technical, with enough difficulty to
keep things interesting.

several resorts in the area. Barbara
