Gorgeous weather today, a terrific Father’s Day weekend to savor and many upcoming activities for the week ahead.
The CdA City Council meets Tuesday at 6:00pm in the Community Room, downstairs in the new Library. This will be their meeting to approve leasing the Harbor Center to U of I for 99 years.
Ironman is this weekend. I hear rumor that if the lake water doesn’t heat up quite a bit this week, they may cancel the swim portion of the event.
Any comments, questions or ideas?
Oh, pish! Are they iron men or not?

From what I hear, it’s not the fast ones they’re worried about. I guess 45 minutes in water less than 60 degrees is not too bad, with a wet suit of course. But those that are near the end of the pack, that take about 90 minutes for the swim, well hypothermia could be an issue.
Let’s hope this sunshine stays around, then it will likely not be a problem.

ironman cn not cancel the swim portion, this is a triathalon, to cancel one of the events would void the results. wetsuits will be mandatory.

reagan, Didn’t they shorten the swim time last year due to choppy water?

I’ve heard they can cancel the swim portion, if safety is at risk. But you’re correct, Regan, that it would void the results for any athletes trying to qualify for the finals in Hawaii. They would have to enter another Ironman somewhere else. But now that the weather is improving, let’s hope it’s not even an issue.

Post Falls Urban Renewal does job development. They also have detailed district plans. Those are two items I’d like to see the LCDC have. As far as what’s going on now, I don’t know. It’s Post Falls, after all, and this is OpenCdA.
