Bowers An Ironman

Congratulations to Tony Bowers on completing Ironman CDA. Here's what Tony had to say about the race: "What an interesting day. The day began with some choppy waters in Lake Coeur d'Alene, causing the race organizers to offer the option of a duathlon (bike and run portions of the race only) to the athletes. This was a first for an Ironman event. The bike course was changed from years past and is now considered the most difficult course for a North America event. It is a two loop, very technical course, but was very fair. What really made it difficult this day however was the head winds. The run course is nicely laid out, but this event offers its version of Heart Break hill at miles 7 and 20 with a one mile climb that is quite difficult. I was very conservative on this day as I was just looking to get to the finish line, but I am looking forward to IM Wisconsin in 10 weeks. I am pround to now say however that I am an IRONMAN! Good luck to the rest of you guys on a wonderful racing season."
