IRONMAN: Part 2~Day Before The Big Day

The day after we got there was Rich’s set up day. He dropped off his bike and bags. There were SO MANY!

While Rich was setting up, the rest of us had a picnic. I fell in love with Coeur d’Alene. It was so beautiful there!

Then, we went to check out the lake where Rich would be swimming 2.4 miles.

It was cool walking around seeing all of these athletes that had the same goal and interest as Rich. Julie and I joked about how maybe people were looking at us thinking we were the ones that were going to participate, hahaha! Julie maybe but definitely not me! It was a fun environment to be in.

Eva ended up being pretty sick that night and was throwing up and needing to be suctioned and she had a horrible rash on her bum so it definitely wasn’t a quiet and restful night for any of us.
