Ironman Louisville : Official Thread (Page 102)

What's the deal with bike pumps morning of? Can we bring one?

I've been lurking in this thread for a couple of weeks for some training inspiration, and it has worked. (I'm a semi newb, and not doing IMLV) seems to me everyone is ready to roll, so I wanted to say thanks, and hope everyone has the day they want, and kicks major butts! Mike

Time to put all of the hard training to use.Good luck to everyone!Peter B

Yes, you can. I'm relying on borrowing one from someone else as it disnt appear to make the trip!

What time you all getting there?

Good Luck everyone!

Early!!

Finish strong everyone, can't wait to read the reports!

Having trouble getting to sleep - always seems to happen after a big race.  It was a beautiful day out there on the bike course!  Sure, it was hot at times and it was by no means easy!  I swam good (for me), and I'm stoked with my bike time, but once again, I couldn't really pull off what I was hoping for on the run.  I knew as soon as I handed off my bike and headed to the gear bags that it was going to be rough.  I finished in 11:01.  I'm still happy with the day as it's a big (30+ min PR) over last year's CDA and I actually ran the run this time!  Of course, race report to follow.  Congrats to all of the finishers!  I can't wait to read all of your reports.  It was great to meet a bunch of you and put some faces to the names.  Enjoy your rest and I hope you all have safe travels back home.  I'll probably head down to watch the Kona rolldown and see what's up with the Awards Brunch tomorrow before late check-out and a 5:30 flight.

Rise and shine!!! Great race to all! Windy bike, but great times!

Congratulations everyone! More later.

Congrats Everyone!! So nice meeting so many of you at the get together!!
Had a really great day. Coaches plan was dead on and legs felt amazing all day, 12:08...thrilled!!
Again, congrats, IRONMAN!!!

Congrats to all. I had a great day and really enjoyed it and following all of you these bast few months.

Watching this race -- from the swim start in the morning to the very last people coming into the finish chute at night -- was one of the most incredible things I have ever experienced. I see why people do it, and I can't wait to be one of them. Congratulations, Ironmen!

I just wanted to congratulate everyone that raced yesterday... it was an honor sweating it out with each of you.  I also really appreciate all of the experience and knowledge that you have poured into this thread over the last year.  I know it helped my race.  I planned to do a sub 15 hr and pulled off 13:46. Good times!  Take care. Jeremy

Rest in peace Mark Wezka. I'm not sure if everyone knows, but Mark died during the first few hundred yards of the swim yesterday. I saw them pull him from the river up on the island where thy were doing CPR on him as I was swimming. Sad to hear he didn't make it. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Jillian!! There is a picture of you on Ironmanlive.com in the live feed. The picture is of you and Mile Riley when you were on stage. Awesome!

congratulations to everyone who did the race yesterday! i can't wait to read the race reports and hear how things went for all of you. i've been keeping track of this site for the past month or so because i want to do imky as my first ironman next year. you guys rock!

Aww thanks Filll! I had an amazing day out there and totally surprised myself by running most of the last 6 miles, allowing me to PR by almost an hour... More I'm the race report of course! On the way home; about 5 more hours to go but I'm feeling great today
