Subject: RE: Ironman Coeur d'Alene : Official ThreadIn response to TriRsquared query about section to pre-ride: Definitely the Hayden/hilly part. It isn't just the hills, it's the turns and adjustments you want to be prepared for: there are (at least) two turns that stand out in my mind and I was glad I had pre-ridden. One is on the road around Hayden lake (?) tight ~120 degree right turn in a downhill stretch. There are warning signs/paint and you better believe them. The second is past Hayden lake 90 degree left turn at the bottom of a hill that could easily be overcooked. I will pre-ride the course on Thursday afternoon once I get in town. I just need to familiarize myself with the terrain again. Bernd Edited by berndstorm 2011-06-18 5:13 PM
