    I know several people who swim, ski, boat on the Ohio River and they say it is safe to do so. That said, I've lived in and around Louisville since 1974 and I've never been brave enough to venture into the Ohio River, it's polluted history scares me. However, on any given weekend during the summer months you see a lot of people out on the Ohio enjoying the water and those who do venture in continue to do so on a regular basis. I really think your biggest worry might actually be the debris that is seen floating down the river (logs, junk, etc) and the current for the water is always moving at a good clip or so it appears.

    The bike ride and run should prove to be equally as challenging given the terrain and the temps/humidity levels. I take my hat off to all the individuals who will give this event an attempt in advance.

    hee hee (and eeewwww, too- that's just why I don't like IMKY- icky).
    I like IM Hot and IM Spud. Very clever. She needs to come up with a list of names for all the races. Like IMFL could be IM Shark Bait, and IMWI could be IM a Cheese Head.
    Sorry, I'm still suffering from ISS (Ironman Stupidity Syndrome) and lately when I'm not forgetting people I've known for years, or losing something that's in my hand, I'm cracking myself up over really stupid jokes. It better go away someday... or I'm gonna find myself very lonely...

    I think they already call IMWI IM Moo.

    IMFL could be IM FLat.
