Hoping someone in the ST community can provide some insight on the finish time at the recent Louisville Ironman race.
What was the ultimate cutoff for the race--actual time of day and number of hours? I know Lou is generally 16hrs 30 mins but with the modifications of course and time, I was not sure if the total hours was subsequently changed. Friends there heard it was 12:45am. However, a racing friend finished ~1230am, called out as an IM finisher, received a medal, etc but the next morning was listed as a DNF. I heard the swim start took a lot longer than expected so some racers might have started at 8am, while others started 90 minutes later. Prior to the race start, it sounded like anyone who finished by 1245 was good to go but now that's not true so we're trying to figure out where the miscommunication is!
Thanks in advance!
