Group for all those training for or interested in the Ironman in Louisville Kentucky
Hey John and Brian,
Looks like you both had a good day at the race. Can you believe the weather? I don't think you could have asked for a better day. I was pleased with my performance. If you take out the 11 minutes I spent changing my flat tire I...
Hey Brain and John,
Well it's almost here! Finished the last run and spin yesterday. Just a short swim scheduled this afternoon. My body is feeling OK. The achilles actually felt better yesterday. I normally work all night shifts but changed the ...

Congrats on chasing down your other dream. As for me, I'm still working in the basement - I have the corner office in a basement. Also, good luck on the 24 hour shift. That's gotta be tough.
I'll be in Louisville around 3pm or so to check in...
I guess my post yesterday didn't go through.
I finished the 2:30 ride on Sunday and was glad to be done! I thought for sure something was going to go wrong but I had a nice easy ride and felt great. Yesterday I did the 30min run and had more pain...
Hey John,
I started wearing the Straussberg sock when I got Plantar Fasciitis a while back. They help keep the feet, achilles, and calves stretched out while you sleep. They really do help decrease the morning pain. Most recentely, when I injured ...
John,
Sorry to hear about your achilles, I feel your pain. Mine has been holding steady for the past several weeks, no better-no worse. I sleep with a Straussberg sock on, this keeps the ankle at 90 degrees. When I wake up there is always a little...

Sam Zeller said… - Thanks again. Very informative. I wanted to do IMMOO agin this year because it is so close and convenient, but, you had to be on-site to sign up. Looking around I found IM Louisville still open, filled out the entry form, hit Send and wondered right away whether I did the right thing. In 2004 IMMOO was extremely hot and I suffered. In 2006 it was cold and raining the whole day, but I did much better. So, with the heat in mind it get me thinking. You are right IMMoo is hilly too. I've always ridden a 11-21 rear cluster, but, I am thinking about switching to a 12-27. Any thoughts? I'd like to get down to Louisville at least once to ride the course.
I love the Ironman series races and I agree to volunteers and spectators are all so great. I look forward to recapturing those moments.

- Thanks Laura. It's always good to hear what others are doing. Did you do Louisville last year? If yes, how was the swim?

- Thank you for creating this group. The IM Louisville will be my first. Hopefully I'll get some cool pics to post on my page (my wife and I take mostly cat and dog pictures)! We are traveling to Louisville to ride the course in June (is that possible; traffic?)
