Endsley, 56, was the top local female finisher in Ironman 70.3 Coeur d’Alene on June 26, completing the race in 5 hours, 23 minutes and 9 seconds. Endsley finished the swim in 41 minutes, 34 seconds, bike in 2 hours, 50 minutes and 36 seconds and the run in 1 hour, 45 minutes. “I was pretty happy with my race,” Endsley said. “But more happy the weather cooperated. We had such a cold, wet spring. To have a stunner of a day for the race was a treat. It wasn’t my fastest finish, but I felt strong all day. So I was happy with that.”
