BOISE, Idaho (AP) - A Boise woman who was attacked by dogs in July is heading to Florida to compete in the Ironman World Championship.
The Idaho Statesman reports Rachel Corey was running on a county road near Weiser when she was swarmed by a pack of dogs that began biting her legs and 1 of her arms. Corey says that if she wasn't strong from her triathlon training, she would have been pulled to the ground and overcome by the animals. But she was able to climb on top of a mailbox, and stay on the wobbly perch until someone driving by stopped to help.
Corey says the bruises and swelling from the bites sidelined her from training for several weeks, but she's ready to compete on Saturday.
