Ironman 70.3 New Orleans : Official Thread (Page 10)

There will be tracking when your chip crosses the timing mats.  End of swim, T1, a few on the bike, T2, a few on the run, fisnish.  If you want live stalking every second kind of tracking, go with myathletelive.com

I thought they only made lemon lime now?

of coarse always subject to change daily

Weather.com says 77 for the high and 61 for the low. http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/New+Orleans+LA+USLA0338:1:US<... is decent. A few showers aren't a big deal as long as it is not for extended periods.

Anyone know a good site to see the water temperature? It shouldn't change that much over a week I presume.

I'm trying to ignore your weather posts. Don't want to get my hopes up for a mild day. 69* water temp today.

Thanks for posting about the athlete tracking. Can I specify who I want it to go to by text? Or is it only a FB post and mass tweet?

runswithcrazydog,

I think I will disconue the weather post,,i agree with you,,no need to concern ourselves with the weather,, it will be what it will be and we will all accept it and have a great day...

kank

Are you talking about the myathletelive tracking I posted?  If so, it is public.  Friends can download the app and track you.  Or, sit in front of a computer and track you.  There are couple of events this weekend to see how it works.  Ironman South Africa and Boston Marathon.  Click them for links.

hooray for being 36! wave 5!

don't worry, you'll all pass me on the run...

If you go to the race homepage there is a tab to click for "Live Results". It takes you to a page called "Race Results 360". There is even an app for it.

I think you can also do live tracking from the Ironman.com website that gives you detailed splits. 

You are not the only one.  People (slower racers) will start before you and still will be running in the heat.

RACE WEEK!!!

Any chance for a BT get together prior to the race?  I'll be arriving Friday afternoon, hope to take in some of the city that night before resting up on Saturday.

Marie: I know you will be suffering in the afternoon temps. We've had a fast warm up here and I'm just not ready for the heat and hunidity of summer. Winter was nice while it lasted!
