I finished my tenth Ironman 70.3 with no regrets.

I read a few glowing race reports from this race, all of which raved about the course, how well-organized the race was, and how welcoming Redding was, which made me regret not racing it. Next year it's moving from its mid-August date to May 23, which would make it not blazing-hot. I'm tempted to add it to my schedule nest year; Redding is a mere fourteen-hour drive from me.

Rouvy, please let me finish my workout routes.

According to the Coeur d’Alene Press, the Coeur d’Alene City Council, the World Triathlon Corporation, and the North Idaho Sports Commission are about to sign a three-year contract that keeps the Ironman 70.3 in Coeur d'Alene through 2029, with races set for June 27, 2027, June 25, 2028, and June 24, 2029. It also formalizes the move of the finish line from Sherman Avenue into Coeur d’Alene City Park, which happened this year because the race accidentally collided with the Car d’Alene car festival. I love this race, so I'm glad it'll be renewed for another three years, but I had my fingers crossed that the full-distance race would return---I have some unfinished business there.

In which I get my ass kicked by the heat in Boulder.
