Expert 760 Memphis, TN | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread For those that have done Louisville in the past, did you have to have a wrist band to do the practice swim on Friday. I won't be getting in until late Thursday, and the athlete check-in doesn't start until 9am Friday. Seeing as the practice swim is from 8-10, I can't imagine that I could get checked in and still have time for the practice swim. |

I was late on ordering the BT t-shirt... but I will love to be able to say hi when you guys pass me during the bike course  Are we planning on attaching a ribon to the bike? Otherwise I might opt for the BT tatoo... since I will be wearing a speedo a have plenty of area to put it on lol |

| New user 32 | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread This looks cool, but it doesn't look like it would be easy to track no a mobile phone. I went to the sight and it doesn't mention text alerts or anything, just real time mapping which is great if your on your PC but that so great if your spectating for 12 hours. |

| New user 32 | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread I am glad someone has had luck with this company (http://www.myathletegps.com), but their website is horrendous (vintage 1988) and when I called them the phone rang 20 times before going to a private VM box. Not the most reassuring customer experience so far.... Maybe they'll be at the expo. |

Your best bet is to email them or speak directly to Andy. If you want a device you will have to get it ordered ASAP as they probably will only be able to have expo pickup. I can't wait to purchase one of these units next month as it gives my wife piece of mind while training and racing. David #1113 |

Master 1411 Lexington, KY | Subject: UP run change Correction: I was just informed that the start location for the UP run has been changed due to a problem with intersection permits. Everything else is unchanged. Here is the corrected info: DATE: SATURDAY, AUGUST 29th TIME: 11:00am LOCATION (changed): Belle of Louisville parking lot (the Belle is a boat, and the parking lot is at the intersection of 4th and River, very near the East Tower of the Galt House) WHAT: A 2-mile easy paced run in underwear to benefit the family of a fallen triathlete Sorry for any confusion! |

Expert 939 Tulsa | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread wes mantooth - 2009-08-20 3:56 PM [email protected] - 2009-08-20 3:36 PM Trakkers GPS will have a booth at the expo and they have a similar technology where you wear a chip and your family can track you all day long. I am suppose to be one of their 50 guinea pigs this year. They may be looking for more guinea pigs at the expo. They sent an email out earlier this week saying they would not be in Louisville now. Going to focus on fall marathon schedule. I talked to someone yesterday from there and they told me they were going to be at Louisville. That is the only reason i ordered one, so i could pick it up there. |

David #1113 Just an FYI incase you didn't know...You have to pay a monthly fee once you buy this tracker. Like $20 a month for the online service if you sign up for a year. |

Expert 815 Milwaukee, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread We're so close!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!! Last 50 mi ride tomorrow, then finals week, (something to distract me at least). I AM NOT sleeping well at all! I'm getting way too excited and nervous! Short swim today. Felt great, was moving real quick and couldn't believe how short it was. Felt like I should be going longer! :P |

Veteran 283 Va Beach | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread I emailed WWW.MAPMYATHLETE.COM as I was concerned about getting the unit before I leave for Louisville, I paid online and selected "pick up at expo option" during checkout, so no worries about getting it for the race. They will be at the expo, but I'm not sure if you wait, whether they will have any extra units unless you reserve one. See you next week, Jim |

Member 70 Nashville | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Does anyone know the approximate half-way point of the swim? From my rough eyeball estimate, it seems as if it's once you round the corner, and get just past the point of the island. That seems to be about 1.2 miles... from counting bouys on the map (that seem to be equa-distant). Would love a more educated estimate than that.  |

Expert 1325 Findlay, OH | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Yea, it will cost about $250 for the unit, $50 to activate it and atleast $20 permonth. I am a gadget freak so compared to my other toys this is dirt cheap. Plus I tend to ride alot by myself so it wouldn't be the worst thing to train with. Thanks for the update though. |

| 221 | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Hey everyone. I've been lurking here on the IM Lou board for a while and just wanted to say good luck to everyone. I'm crossing my fingers for the weather for you guys. I'm from Louisville and the weather man on the radio just said that it's 64 right now (WOW!!!). I'll be checking some of you in on Thurs, checking you in the practice swim on Fri, checking you in the transition area all day Sat. and picking up those who can't make it on the run on Sun in a van. So here's to seeing my cheering face every day except in the van on Sunday. Again, good luck, take it easy on the first bike lap, and soak up every minute because it will be a blast. |
