Extreme Veteran  981    Maryland |  Subject: RE: BT IM Louisville watching thread!I looked up the guy who did this race last year in an old bike, a long beard, and jean cutoff shorts. (for reference) http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... In any case, he was there this year, I saw him during the swim. He was #1616. In any case, he DNFed, dropping out some time between the 2nd and 3rd bike legs. Wonder what happened. He could've hit the dreaded "you mean I have to do this loop AGAIN?!" Just thought that was interesting. |

Extreme Veteran 441 Roswell, GA | Subject: RE: BT IM Louisville watching thread! I saw him walking around near transition, still in his cutoffs, around 5:30pm. He seemed to be moving fine and was smiling so I'm not sure what happened to him. |

I passed him about 1/2 way thru the second loop. We was walking his bike....very slowly.

Expert 924 Louisville, KY | Subject: RE: BT IM Louisville watching thread! Thanks to everybody watching and volunteering. The support from the crowd and the generous assistance from the volunteers was/is beyond words. Meeting the BT group and seeing familiar faces during the race was a huge benefit as well. Kenny, my heart goes out to you. Everytime I saw you out on the run course, I was truly trying to send you whatever mojo I had left to spare. |

He seemed to be moving fine and was smiling so I'm not sure what happened to him. Wow he has a lot of guts. That's good that he's smart enough to stop when it gets too dangerous though. I could not imagine trying to do that race like he does. |

Extreme Veteran 981 Maryland | Subject: RE: BT IM Louisville watching thread! Does anyone know any stats of DNFs? I know there were a lot out there but I am having a hard time getting them from the results. This race seems a lot less organized than the NASports ones. I am only comparing this one though. |

at lunch they said that nearly 1700 finished and over 2100 started. Not sure how much those numbers are rounded up or down but that's around 20% |

Not sure how much those numbers are rounded up or down but that's around 20% Athlete Tracker says: 1793 finishers out of 1975 starters = 9.2% DNF In my AG (M40-44), there were reported 320 racers and 282 reported finishing times. That's 11.9% DNF. |

Just thought that was interesting. When I was out on the bike, finishing my second loop and coming back in, I saw that guy sitting under a tree in the shade, resting. I pointed at him and yelled, "I remember you from last year!" |

And finally. . . Big congreats to all! ! ! ! Yes.. I will be having a talk with my local bike shop and then with PD if need be. I haven't had them for long... so either these things are jacked or I need to talk to someone on my fit (it doesn't bother me). Either way.. both concern the same shop. I know I am not a small guy.. but I should not be breaking metal. It is not like I am X-Games style tricks on my aero bars while out riding. But.. it is what it is... I will get this fixed, even if I have to change out the entire front end of my bike before my next event.  Kenny |
