I’ll be there. Was on the way to IMCHOO when I got the news about the swim being cancelled. With it being my first full I couldn’t go out like that. Kinda thinking I wanna do a one and done. I ate the entry fee and the first night at the hotel and signed up for Louisville.

I’m in.

I'll be there. First full, ready to party. Solid training cycle, maybe slightly light on volume, but I'm underinjured, so it's all gravy.

I’ll be there too. First full IM for me and really looking forward to it. Training has been great.

I’ll be there. I’ve done Tremblant twice but I’m pretty sure I am better trained for this one. We will see how it goes!

I’m on the start list but won’t be racing. IT band syndrome in the knee has ended my season. Looking to 2019 IM CHOO or Louisville.

My first IM. Super psyched.

In for my First IM.

any advice from the seasoned vets regarding the course?

I am in too; IM #12, just logged in my last bigger weekend of training an pumped the taper begins. No big problems in this build, in top shape. Hoping for a PB, but I am not very consistent on the full distance. My 2 last races were my bext and my worse respectively hehe!

A bit weary of the river conditions. Hoping the swim on't be canceled, but don't want to get sick swimming in the brown stuff either hehe!

I am racing, starting to get excited! What is going on with the water in Louisville?

couldn't you have gotten a transfer ?

A friend of mine got in to NY marathon ( i will be cheering and volunteering)so i transferred from IMFLA to Louisville , my third time for Lou . cant go wrong , great race.

I’m in.

I trained pretty hard and right now taper begins as last weekend really tired out the legs. I was able to practice rolling hills as that is what we have around here.

Bacteria/e coli count is high because of flash flood (https://wfpl.org/...during-flash-floods/). It was 1.9K on 9-25. I think safe is <200

Here's a link to bacteria count monitoring: http://www.orsanco.org/data/bacteria/

Wow, more often than not that river is not swimmable. As long as there is not a ton of rain, we should be fine in 2 weeks though.

Thanks for posting.

I'm also in for my first. Really Really hoping the swim doesn't get cancelled because I'm not sure I want to do this again.
