Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official ThreadI have raced Florida and Louisville. I did LOU this year. I really loved this race and the city of Louisville. This year was one of the hottest years (I think it was about 93 degrees when I got off of the bike), but if you are fortunate enough to be able to train in the heat, then you should be fine. There is about a 50-50 chance the temps could be very, very hot, or mild. I think Florida's weather is much more unpredictable. I was one of the ones who picked up a tack on the course this year. I heard 30-40 athletes picked up a tack on the bike course. Luckily mine was in my front tire which made things easier. Still cost me close to 20 mins though all said and done. Even with the tack experience, I am going back to LOU one day. Signed up for Florida again in 2013! Good luck! |
