The weather was awesome. Warm days (in the mid 80’s), cool nights, and very low humidity made it for a very comfortable weather and race-day conditions. Here are a few picks from the days leading up to the race. The race report will be forthcoming.
Louisville was ready for the athletes
Muhammad Ali is a fixture in Louisville's landscape
And so is the White Castle Hamburgers
New York City has its cows, Louisville has its horses - blue .......
..... and checkered
KFC's Colonel Sanders on break having a smoke
Fourth Street Live - a famous entertaintment and business center. Will also turn into a lively finish line of Ironman Louisville
Ironman Expo - also a very lively place
The bike transition area on Saturday. In the distance, the mighty Ohio River, the race's swim venue
Swim start. Athletes will be jumping-off those docks in the "trial start" method - every 2 seconds - approximately, 2,500 of them
The first few swim markers
Happy just thinking about it
Not many opportunities for practice swims due to the boat/barge traffic on the Ohio River
