Boise Ironman 70.3

With a very unique 2pm start the Boise Ironman 70.3 was held Saturday afternoon June 13th. The swim was held in Lucky Peak Resevoir and with the late start noone was shivering on shore waiting to get in, a definite plus. The rain started coming when all the athletes were on the bike ride and never stopped, except for a few brief minutes at a time. The steep climb up to the birds of prey sanctuaty tested your skills as you came down on the slick winding road, my hands cramped from holding the brakes too much! The finish of the 56mile ride was fantastic, a slight downhill path leading right into Downtown Boise, the Capitol Building straight ahead. Once off the bike athletes were treated to a fantastic mostly flat 2 loop run on the greenbelt downtown boise. The spectators and volunteers were fantastic, they didn't seem to mind the weather at all. We had 3 TriScottsdale guys qualify for the 70.3 Championships in Clearwater, FL- Preston Miller(5:50:27), Brett Miller(4:57:05), and Dwight Lundell(5:56:54). Also a big congrats to Aaron Bickart(his first 70.3 with a 5:20:22 finish), Ryan Luedecke(5:27:53), Taos Poole(5:08:53), and Abby Forsberg (6:16:23). I would recommend the course, but prefer the morning start time, I think I ate 5 times before 2pm! Check out the results at www.ironmanboise.com .
