Ironman Louisville

[kacie tri-ing]

Hey! This is SUPER excited/nerve wracking!

I am 206, and ready to go. Bike and bags are checked in, pancakes in my belly, nice and hydrated, and ready to go!!!

I had a wonderful practice swim this morning, and it really put me in a great mood. I just have to keep remembering that my attitude is what I can control, and to focus on that!!

I LOVE the energy and talking to everybody along the way!

Off to eat a few noodles and then to lie down!!!!

I've got three browser windows open, ready to track kacie, pika, and wahine!

Go, Ironmen!

Thanks for the post. Didn't realize you could follow live. I have them and a friend of ours at the same time. How exciting! They are doing great!

Way to go Kacie, nice swim and powering through the bike over 18mph. Sweet!!

Pika and Wahine both had AWESOME swims! Pika was 6th AG

Just checked the weather in Louisville. It's 90 deg with 47% humidity. Looks windy with 18 mph gusts. Mighty warm.

What is Wahine's bib #?

What is Wahine's bib #?

2530. She's doing great on the bike.

IMCA bike split is in - Pika averaging over 17mph and Wahine the Machine over 18. Woohoo!

Kacie's pushing through over there in Louisville, keep going, Kacie, you're almost there!!

[colby]

She's off the bike! Lace up those shoes... let's go.

Weather in Penticton - "light thunderstorm" (whatever that is!), rain and wind. Everyone I am tracking is doing awesome. Managing to get those amazing bike splits - incredibly strong athletes!!! GO! GO! GO!

[divingbiker]

Must be too many people following athletes...I can't get the website to respond any more. Dangit.

could someone please post the link so i can check on a friend who is participating in the Louisville iron man today? I've tried the link on the Iron man page but it will not connect. I was wondering if there might be another one available. Thanks.

Kacie's still doing well--has crossed the 15-mile mat, and is going at about a 10-11 min pace.

Makbike, the links are just overloaded; I couldn't connect for a long time either. With two races going on at the same time, I can see why.

[colby]

Wahine (and I assume Pika, can't get hers to load) is off on the run, and Kacie's over halfway through hers.

Maybe Ironman shouldn't have two events going on at once
