This is not only long overdue, it's just plain long (in an epic kind of way). Feel free to skim and just look at the pics. Eventually they'll link to full-sized images, but that may not happen right away. After the race report, there's also a little narrative of some other riding we did.

I'm doing IM Coeur d' Alene on June 22nd. Would it be wise or foolish to do the Boise 70.3 exactly 3 weeks before? Some say it would be a perfect way to start your taper, others say it would be too taxing. My fitness level: this will be my first IM that I actually trained for and my weekly training volume will max out at 12-15 hours. Penny for your thoughts :-)
