Yes, I realize that the whole sticker thing is a bit adolescent, but this 55-year-old is having his fun while he still can. Only the Austin 70.3 Ironman is missing as that sticker was on my old van that we traded in when we bought the Subaru. I added yet one more sticker to the Subaru to memorialize another finish. However, before my departure, I completed a ritual that has followed each of my Ironman races. It would be a critical chemical needed for the 300ish hundred miles to my next Hack-bbatical destination of Butte, Montana. and the wi-fi did the job as I sat down and caught up a little bit while my body began to absorb the caffeine. The coffee was pretty good, the interior was all mine at 7:30 a.m. Unfortunately, their idea of bakery was really just bagels mostly. My pick was Terre Coffee & Bakery.Ĭoffee was important, but bakery was a craving I could give into this day after the race. However, the day after the 70.3 Ironman Coeur d’Alene would require serious coffee and possibly some morning carbs. My goal was to depart Coeur d’Alene by 8:00 a.m.
