THE COUNT DOWN


This weekend, I am sending greetings from a sunny, humid, and a welcoming Louisville, Kentucky. In ten hours about 3,000 triathletes will jump in the Ohio River to start this year's Ironman race. The bikes and bags are all lined up in T1 and T2.


Yes, it has been quite hot here. The temperature has been hovering in the mid-nineties and the forecast calls for another hot and humid day tomorrow, so the proper hydration and nutrition will be the keys to having a good race.

While in Louisville, I have been able to connect with many friends and to try some of the local culinary delights. "Wild Eggs" and "Mayan Cafe" are some of my favorites. I highly recommend them, if you ever plan to visit the city.


Ironman will have web live updates from the race.
