Ironman Coeur d'Alene

Team Finish Strong Racing's Michael Collins added yet another Ironman finish to his impressive Ironman resume. This one was Ironman Coeur d'Alene held on Friday, June 24 in Idaho. Michael started the morning off with a two-loop swim in beautiful, but chilly Lake Coeur d’Alene. Michael swam the frigid waters in 1:30:37 averaging 2:23 per 100 meters. After he recovered from the swim, Michael went on to his strongest event -- the bike. Unfortunately, he was plagued with three separate mechanical difficulties. He worked hard to make up for the time he lost for flats and repairs and ended up clocking 6:21:41 on the bike course (17.61 mile/hour pace.) Michael finished strong on the run with a 4:11:24 marathon and an overall time of 12:16:03. His wife, Kristin, was there to cheer him on to yet another Ironman finish!
