I'll be there, 3rd IM, 2nd time at IMKY. Thanks for starting a new thread.

I'll be back in 2011 too.  6th ironman (3rd Louisville).

I'll be there doing my firt IM.  I am excited and terrified at what I have committed myself to. 

I'm in. This will be my first IM. I already have butterlies.

Hi everybody, 

I am in- this will be my second Ironman (both Louisville). So looking forward to it.

 

Im in. This will be be my 2nd IM. Did IM Florida in 09.

This will be my second IM.  I did it this year as my first!

Hi there,

Here is some info on the course - My watched ran out of batteries towards the end of my run in this year's race and never set the watch to split the events (all together).

Garmin stats

I never switch 
The bike course is rolling terrain and there are plenty!of hills that by the time you get done it beats the crap out of your legs. There were some spots out there this year in the bike course that the temp was around 105 not including the heat index.

The run course is flat with only some minor rises but nothing major. A lot of the course is not shaded so the sun does beat down on you pretty good. It was hot, humid this year.
The bike course had sufficient aid stations as well as the run course. The run course had an aid station every mile. 

Hope this helps.

Thomas

Hi Thomas

Hi Thomas

I'm going to be there, it will be my first IM. Thanks for the information, I guess I will spend the next summer out side training in the heat a lot...sounds fun, I can't wait!!

See you all there!

SO!

I am on the fence. I am afraid of the non-wetsuit swim. How is the swim? water real deep? etc? Is the bike harder than Wisconsin?

Any input would be great.

I'm in - first IM!!

I have not done an IM yet.. some one told me that the course was very hill and harder than some of the others for you first IM.. can anyone let me know what you thought of the course

I haven't done it yet but I did bike about 50 miles of it last year when I was there to volunteer and it is def. hard.  Now, I am a pretty crappy cyclist to begin with but doing that 50 miles really put some fear in me...but not so much that I didn't register anyway.

You are welcome.

Hey all,

This will be my first IM and i'll be traveling all the way down from NYC. It's nice to meet everyone!

Which HIMs are people thinking of doing next year before Louisville?

I am planning on the Muncie Indiana HIM in early July.  Before that I am going to do the Knoxville REV3 HIM or Oly in May.  I think the Louisville is going to be a real challenge with the probable heat that time of year.
Good luck to you.
Tom

HIM before IM LOU?...im thinking Lubbock...but would like something closer to home in late June or eairly July.
