As soon as I heard that Wildflower was back for 2018 after a hiatus in 2017 due to drought conditions, I knew I wanted to race it. Except that I truly, honestly, knew nothing about the race. OK, maybe that’s an overstatement: I knew that it includes a challenging bike course, and I knew that it involves camping. But for real that’s all I knew.

Let’s do Wildflower! … What’s Wildflower?

Ironman 70.3 Coeur d’Alene Course Preview
Adapted from articles originally published in Lava Magazine and on D3Multisport.com
It’s hard to talk about this course without talking about the town of Coeur d’Alene and its residents, who have volunteered for and cheered on participants at IM Coeur d’Alene and IM 70.3 Couer d'Alene for nearly fifteen years. I’ve yet to be in a town that is so genuinely excited to be overrun by self-focused athletes with bizarre dietary restrictions and an insane obsession with the weather forecast. So, no matter what else you do, enjoy the town and their enthusiasm for your insanity!

Ironman 70.3 St George Course Preview
Originally published in Lava Magazine and on D3Multisport.com
I hit up IM 70.3 St George in 2015 and 2016, and at this point have settled into a kind of love-hate relationship with the event. I simultaneously never want to do the race again and am considering it for 2018. If you can figure that one out, feel free to explain it to me.
The Race I Love to Hate … And Hate To Love
