Well I finished my first Ironman, and I have to say it has motivated me beyond my wildest imagination to complete another one, hopefully with a much faster time. I was extremely nervous going into Coeur d'Alene, because with school and a new job I had not put in near the amount of training as I had hoped. The swim was great, the second half of the bike was a little windy, but the first lap of my run was when the weather took a turn for the worst. Some wind, rain, and dropping temperatures challenged those of us still out on the course. I would not have changed anything about the day, I am just so excited to get my first ironman under my belt. Hopefully all the other LATCers at Couer d'Alene had awesome days as well.
