anyone else in?
I think the bike should be quick, and the run looks like a fun course.
Have the algae blooms receded? We cancelled last weekend swims due to it
warm weather and no rain forecasted to race day concerning for algae blooms continuing. I suspect the algae bloom was one of the reasons they moved the full to october prior to cancelling it. (also the large number of participants in hospitals/ems services due to heat related conditions with the august date)
See you out there.
Yeah the bike goes through my town (La Grange); the hills in the lollipop part of the loop are short and pretty steep. The false flat / incline over the first half of the course with downhill back will make it similar to the Ironman Arizona course, IMO.
Very excited for the race but annoyed they picked August. Kentucky’s weather is consistently pretty difficult / unpredictable but September would be better and I assume they self-servingly didn’t want to conflict with Chatt.
personally loved the full bike course (2014 and 2017). Having done both dates, I actually liked the August date better. I too bet they wanted to avoid conflicting with Choo. i’m excited to come back to LOU.
I’ll be there. Finished the full in 2011 & 2012. I can’t speak to the algae blooms but high temp forecast seems to be mild for August in Louisville.
