She was supposed to be in the commercial.
Not the race.
First-time IRONMAN .
102 degrees.
One city.
One couple.
Trial by Fire.
Mike and Lorie Corcoran found their home in Rockford through UW Health at UW Health SwedishAmerican
Mike, born and raised here in Rockford, left for med school in Milwaukee.
That’s where he met Lorie.
When Rockford hosted its first IRONMAN,
they recruited their co-worker Ben
to join them on a relay team.
It was a first for both of them.
They didn’t plan for a 102-degree race.
But they showed up.
And so did the city.
The video features photos and video taken by Rockford residents, Supporters, and Volunteers.
