Coeur D' Alene, ID

Seven hours in the car. What else can I say --esp. since I was asleep for a lot of it!!!!

Beautiful town. The GPS went a little wild on us. Pretty funny stuff. There are roads underneath the highway, so our TomTom was giving some pretty crazy directions. Went to the Athletes' Villiage to register Corey and all... nice venue! Definitely more pleasant than Tempe.

Our hotel, the Holiday Inn Express in Hayden, is pretty cool. It's attached to a funplex kinda place. Bowling, water park with 3 slides and a wavepool, arcade games, and mini golf. Corey and I are now tied in air hockey. We still have some tokens left, so we need to have a tie-breaking match :o)

Went to Olive Garden for dinner. The locals are extremely supportive of the Ironman event! It's neat to hear. We were worried that they'd all hate the triathletes , for closing the roads on the 22nd :o)
