Expert  749   |  Subject: Louisville weatherSo I had to laugh looking at the IMLOU site, it has a 'historical weather' box - it said that last year on Aug. 31st the high was 86 and it was cloudy. A frick'n week earlier we MELTED in the low 90's and sun. In 06 the high was 77 & it was cloudy. Wouldn't that be a dream day?!?!?! |

Champion 10471 Dallas, TX | Subject: RE: Louisville weather Well, here in Dallas, we have been training in 100+ degree heat. I'm ready. The humidity is about 1/2 as much though here, so that has me a bit concerned. All I know is that a change of socks will be in my special needs run bag. 13 miles of running in heat and humidity... my socks and shoes will be soaked. Which means blisters. I'm not finishing a marathon on blisters... so fresh socks will be waiting for me. |

Don't forget the chicken broth when driving around at night. Oh yeah, we've changed over to a diet completley of Hammer products. Now that there are a few new flavors of HEED there is less complaining. The sugar of the gels work well to amp them up after extreme fatigue from the heat. Did I mention I "asked" them to do a water stop for me next week during my long run? I am a good mom, I am a good mom, I am a good mom . . . |

Okay, you just freaked me out with the HEED comment! I thought that Ironman was serving HEED. Whew, breathe Bob, just breathe . In with the good air, out with the bad. You are an evil person! |

| Champion 10471 Dallas, TX | Subject: RE: Louisville weather I swim in Texas lakes. They are GROSS! Yesterday I was told to not stand around on shore as I would get leaches on me. Then while we were swimming, someone came in contact with a river rat or some sort. So, I'm sure the Ohio River will be fine as my standards are very low. timdude - 2008-08-03 2:36 AM River water quality is just about perfect, for a river. Let's hope it stays that way.
