COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — When Ironman came to Coeur d'Alene in 2003, Terrence Northington volunteered to help.
Not that he wanted to. That took some convincing by a friend.
"I was roped into it," Northington said, smiling.
On race day, he found himself handing out water and Gatorade as cyclists whizzed past in Post Falls.
He wasn't even sure what an Ironman was or that it involved 140.6 miles of swimming, biking and running.
"I didn’t know what the heck they were doing," Northington said.
But he did know that by day's end, he had fun. And when they asked him back in 2004, he accepted. He's been returning every year since, serving as the captain of a bike course aid station.
