Hey Steemians,
I hope you've all had awesome weekends and are feeling recharged and rejuvenated for the coming week ahead. I doubt I can say that on behalf of the amazing athletes who participated in this year's Ironman triathalon though. This classic race took place in the quaint Idahoan lakeside town of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and the lush timberland that surrounds it.
My dad has taken me to see it a few times in past years and each time I've been astonished to watch them go and see the endurance it takes to do it. With my recent injuries keeping me down I'm extra inspired to get back on my feet as soon as possible. Hey, maybe I'll train for the next one after I heal.....okay probably not but I'm really getting tired of having to stay down a lot. Let's get real here, it.is.driving.me.CRAZY!
But as for the triathalon, the athletes begin their day with 1.2-mile swim in the clear waters of Lake Coeur d’Alene. The challenging 56-mile bike course boasts with twists and turns. The run loops along the shores of the lake blend the energy of a small town resort atmosphere with a world-class course. It's been loved for years as a full-distance favorite with the athletes and fans.
The male winner was Matt Hanson from the USA with a time 03:51:16 and the female winner was Haley Chura, also from USA, with a time of 04:27:16. Don't ask me the exact details other than that because unfortunately I'm not as much as an expert as I'd like to be. Actually I just know the basics.
What I do know is that it's an event I look forward to seeing many times again in the future. Have you ever seen one of the Ironman events?
Woah! Awesome! I wish I would've gone!! But hey, maybe next time!

These things are crazy! I almost had to help make pizza at Little Caesar's for all the competitors once.
Don't worry, love. You're gonna heal and be back at it before you know it! 💝

Somehow it turned out that the roads came together,
They are not alike, but they all converged into one.
If suddenly on the road sadness worries you,
Know that I will stretch with a love hand.
If a misfortune suddenly strikes you,
If a tear flashes on her eyelashes,
Know that through the mist I'll look with love.
Carefully, in the very eyes.
You can cry with a friend, you can laugh.
With a friend you can just sit silently.
Who said that you can not ignore a friend?
Friend first thing to be respected.
Are they looking for a friend, are they choosing?
A friend to you only comes by accident.
And do you think anyone else is a friend?
A friend from a friend must be distinguished.

Gringa! I just learned that my nephew is there too. He's developing into quite a triathlete. He just competed in the tri-event in Monroe, WA. Were it not for a penalty he absorbed, he would have been on the podium.
