Ironman Triathlon 70.3 Comes to Boise

I was able to catch the bike to run transition in the inagural Ironman 70.3 event held in Boise, ID last weekend. The swim was in Lucky Peak Reservoir, continued near Sandy Point Beach and ended up with the bike/run transition in downtown Boise. Every time I am around a triathlon, I always get motivated to do one someday. It would definitely be an advantage to be able to use the course from this year to train (the bike section blows right by my house).

Here is the end of the bike section, where you can see the Boise Depot in the background.

Here is a shot looking into the huge number of bikes in the bike racks at the transition. You can see the Grove Hotel on the left at the end of the transition, and the Capitol Building in the backdrop.
