Ironman Louisville : Official Thread (Page 34)

I plan to find someone swimming my pace and sight off of their swim cap.  Just hope they are good at sighting, otherwise we may both end up in the Gulf.

I trust no one lol. After IM Florida getting my goggles ripped off and poeple swimming wierd my tookus is swimming away from poeple

I always use TYR Nest Pro tinted (smoke?) including IM Louisville last year.

Ah, bouys!! After 20+ triathlons I sincerely forgot about buoys.  How embarrasing  

ANOTHER SWIM QUESTION:  When standing in line for the Swim Start, are there garbage cans anywhere near by?  I want to take in some fluids while waiting, possibly a gel, and want somewhere to throwout my wrapper and scrap water bottle.  Thanks

Gatorskins are slow.  I use them for training, and when I take them off and throw on my Michelin Pro3's, the speed difference is noticeable.  However, Michelin Pro3 and other race tires are not as flat-resistant as gatorskins.  

New Zipps will roll much faster and smoother than stock wheels.  For that price, no question *I* would go with the Zipps.  

Schweeet.  

*Anyone thinking of bringing an extra water bottle, or two, for the swim line, and - well - if you gotta pee just go while standing in line and conveniently wash your body with water at the same time?  Am I the only person thinking of doing something like this?  

Pee I just wait for the Ohio river lol

Getting up at 2AM!!  What is this, IMNYC?  

Getting in line at 5:30 should put you right in the middle (roughly).  I think that is about the time I got in line last year and I was in the water at 7:17.

When you must go you must go

Oh no!!!  Those are the "double secret" port a johns!!!!!!!!!

Edit for bold print.

After a statement like that, you must post pictures!!!!

Hello:

It appears as though the IMLOU forum is just as busy as last year, and I see some familiar 'faces'. I am excited for all of you, especially if this is your first IM or first IMLOU for that matter. It is a great venue and you will have a great time! 

May the current be swift (after you turn of course), the wind be at your back, and the temperatures be mild. I hope you all achieve your goals.

Go grab your Slugger because you are next at bat on the U.S. Ironman circuit!

Peace,

~Tri Sam

Thanks, Sam!!!  We'll miss you this year!!

Speaking of Louisville Slugger Museum, what else that's super-close by does any recommend for young children/ family friendly local touring?  

Is the waterfront park a good place for my wife to hang out with a 6-yr-old and 8-yr-old while I ride and run?  Little HELP please
