Ironman Louisville : Official Thread (Page 80)

There's no reason why you can't buy a ~500mL coke bottle, open it up to flatten it, and put that in your special needs. That's what I'm doing so I don't have the highs and lows taking in coke from aid station to aid station. I'm happy when I've got a constant stream of pure sugar and caffeine to my system!

Tulkas--I sent you a PM yesterday regarding sweat test.  Can you take a look at that for me?

I wish I had some heat to play in.  Temperatures are on the cooler side than average up here--upper 50's and low 60's. 

I wish I could be in Kentucky already.  Stay safe out there.

REGARDING B.T. POSSIBLE GATHERING- I too will be arriving on Friday (hopefully by 3:00pm at the latest). I wasn't going to bring this up yet, but since it's out there... This is rough draft thinking, but I was thinking those who are interested in meeting could meet at 5:00-ish prior to the 5:30 "Welcome Dinner" and go to that together.

OR...???

On a related note, please let me know who else is staying at the Jeffersonville, IN Comfort Suites Hotel (I think the Days Inn is right next door as well...Exit 2 I believe in Jeffersonville). I believe Jillian is and I thought somebody else as well. We could coordinate drives in and out of the city possibly.

Sam - I'm staying at the Comfort Inn Suites in Jeffersonville as well. I'll be getting there sometime Thursday afternoon.

Sam,

I am staying at the Days Inn next door to you in Jeffersonville, IN. I will also be arriving on Friday. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Noah

I am staying at the Galt House Friday-Sunday.  More than I wanted to spend, but convenience wins out.  I would love to meet up with everyone.

On a side note, I am going to be in Louisville on Saturday, August 21st.  I have a 2 hour ride/30 minute run scheduled.  My plan is to do 30 to 40 miles of the bike course late morning/early afternoon.  Anyone care to join me?

I am coming into town on Thursday and checking in then leaving to go stay with family about an hour south. Coming back Saturday for bike check in and then staying in Jeffersonville as well.

Thanks Sam, I really didn't think staying in Jeffersonville would be a problem. Ideally, I really wanted to stay at the host hotel, but we are an enlisted military family, and would need to take out a loan to stay there. A big reason was I have a buddy and his wife staying at the Baymont, who did the race in 2009, and offered to carpool to all the race stuff, so that was a big factor as well. We will be arriving Thursday night, we have to go through Atlanta, not looking forward to that.

I, too, rode the full LOU course this past Saturday.  OMG it was HOT.  I'm glad I did it, huge confidence boost.  Handled my nutrition well and took it easy.  Big, big thanks to the iamtri group ~ they do an amazing job!

Signed up for IMLP this past Monday.  Swore I would never sign up for one IM while still training for another......oooops

These hotter than h*ll training days will be paying off soon, hang in there everyone!!

ETA ~ I am staying at the Hyatt.  Hope to meet up with some of you!!

Congrats on the good ride and for signing up for IMLP - I just can't bring myself to sign up for anything at this moment.  I'm so tired from double training the IM and a 100 mile run that I want to enjoy these two races then sit back and say "aaaahhhhh"
