Ironman Louisville : Official Thread (Page 38)

I will be leaving Indy Friday @ 10

Happy race week! Been following your thread as I did this one last year - I hope all of you have as great of an experience as I did. Soak it all in!

Sending my good juju and, of course, tailwinds your way as you close in on your journey

Any good or better than or even avoid this one restaurants?

My friend included these in an email we sent to our support crew and might be helpful...

Link One:  Does a good job outlining what and where spectators could do and go.

Link Two:  Is for the town of La Grange, which is located on the bike course loop.  Folks can see us at about mile 38 and 68 from this town and they have a festival going on.  There is also a shuttle from downtown Louisville to La Grange so you don't have to drive and look for parking.

Link Three:  Is a short article about IML

Link Four:  This link is actually for the World Championships in Kona but I thought it had some good and funny info for spectators.  I especially like that they call the athletes SPAM and talk about your athlete being a "little touchy"  because I think we all are right now.

I know that this might be a little premature but is anyone planning on signing up for 2013? I had to withdraw last week due to injury and just received an email from WTC saying that I have officially been removed from the start list. I thought I was OK with it but to be honest I’m pretty down about it. Here’s to next year!

After 2 consectutive years at this venue, I have been told (by the supreme power) that we will not be returning to Louisville next year.  Considering either an early IM (Los Cobos??) or late IM (Florida or Cozumel??) for 2013.

I will be begging the executive council to let me do it again in 2013. So hopefully I will be there. Sorry you had to withdraw Jhouse. I had to do the same thing last year. But I was 1 month out.

Sorry to hear.   Had to withdraw a month out from Lake Placid in 2010.  Stinks BIG TIME.  But this too shall pass.  Next year will be here sooner than later. 

Do Cozumel. I did that race last year and it is an unbelieveable venue. The swim is gorgeous and the island is so supportive of the race. I would go back in a heartbeat to race there again.

Thanks for the advice sbradley!

Cozumel is def. on the to do list.  Although, since I live in NC, doing B2B as a late season full could be less stressful, less expensive and less challenging logistically for me.

We'll see.........

Here's my bike.  Probably will be the only blue P2 in transition   I'll also have a Beginner Triathlete Tatoo on my calf.  Say hello if you see me   I'll be wearing an orange and blue Sunrise Tri Kit. 

GOOD LUCK to ALL BT'ers!!

I'll be one of the 6 I think wearing a Team FeXY kit. Probably the last one.  

I haven't decided if I"m putting my banana costume in run special needs. I really want to run through the chute in it, but don't want to have it thrown out if I don't.  When I saw the guy in LP wearing the crown, cape, and doing heel clicks, I had to out do him.

I love costumes - is this a full body banana? What/how/why? I love it no matter what your responses are
