The race I am doing is Ironman Coeur d' Alene (Core da Lane) on June 27, 2010. It's in Idaho.
The race website is:

For those of you wishng to attend here are detailed details.
I have my room holding at the Coeur d' Alene Resort. It's pricey but everyone said worth staying at if you are racing since it's connected to the race site. The resort's website is:

I also have four rooms holding at a hotel close to the race site. (One of which has already been claimed, so three rooms left.) It's called the Ameritel Inn. A friend stayed there one year and said it was a nice place. Similar to a Hampton Inn. I already have rooms holding and can cancel within 72 hours. At this point, if you want to stay there, you don't need to do anything but let me know so I can add you to that room list. The Ameritel's website is:

As far as flying, the closest airport is Spokane, Washington. It's a 45 minute drive from Spokane to Coeur d' Alene. You can get to Spokane with a connecting flight. There is nothing direct.
I'm not sure what there is to do in Coeur d' Alene or the surrounding area but it is supposed to be BEAUTIFUL. Norther Idaho. The Rocky Mountains. (Yes, I wil be biking up and down the mountains).
I know I am flying in Thursday and leaving Tuesday. You can plan for whatever is most convenient for you. Prior to the race I really won't have much free time. I have race stuff both Friday and Saturday. I'll want to drive the bike course, get in a few practice swims, and I know my nerves will be in overdrive so I'll also be short-tempered and a lot bitchy (warning you in advance ;)
After the race I'll either be dead tired or on an adrenaline high.
The race itself will start at 7 AM on Sunday, June 27. I have until midnight to finish. I'm guessing, and these are wild guesses, that my swim will be around an hour and a half, my bike will be seven hours, and my run will be six and half hours. So, I'm looking at a 15 hour race.
