Setting up Sunday’s 11th Ironman Coeur d’Alene
Heather Wurtele and Viktor Zyemtsev look to continue their success in Idaho.
The 11th Ironman Coeur D’Alene goes this coming Sunday June 23 and Kelowna’s Heather Wurtele leads the way in Idaho.
Wurtele obtained her first career Ironman win at Coeur d’Alene in 2008, and last year she was on her way to another until she was pulled off the course and DQ’d for completing the bike ride on someone else’s bike. She will be hungry to avenge that blemish on her career.
Viktor Zyemtsev of the Ukraine is back to defend and I looking to take his fourth win in Idaho.
