Zyemtsev wins Ironman Coeur d'AleneStory and photos by Cameron Elford June 24, 2007 -- Battling a chilly swim and wind-whipped Lake Coeur d'Alene, Ukraine's Victor Zyemtsev topped a field of 2262 starters today at the Ford Ironman Coeur d'Alene, in northern Idaho, by running down Canada's Tom Evans, who attacked at the beginning of the second loop on the two-loop bike course, in the closing miles of the marathon.Contributing to pre-race anxiety in the days before the event, gusty conditions had produced significant lake chop throughout the week, and race morning was no exception, with strong winds forcing athletes to battle whitecaps on the two-loop swim before cool, race-morning temperatures in the low 50s gave way to sun and moderate conditions, with highs in the 60s as more than 2000 athletes finished this spectacular event that boasted a new bike course this year, winding north through the rural roads of Hayden Lake rather than west to the border with Washington State, as in years past."The new course is a mix of [Ironman] Wisconsin and Lake Placid," said eight-time Hawaii champion Paula Newby-Fraser, describing the mix of short, sharp hills and longer climbs that characterize the new Idaho bike course.
