IM LOU Predictions

  1. My perceived “Worlds Worst Taper” due to bad back will turn out to be truly a blessing is disguise as I show up at the start more ersted and ready then I could have dreamed of.
  2. The slightly cooler temps at night along with a few light showers will drive the water temp to a true wetsuit legal swim.
  3. Race day temps will be lower than anyone expected and in turn so will the DNF rate.
  4. The swim current will be barely noticeable in either direction.
  5. The stories of the killer hills on the bike will turn out in general to be an exageration.
  6. As we enter the water at 6:30 it will be light enough to read the number on each others swim cap. :wink:
  7. I will have the time of my life, and likely tear up when I finally hear the words… YOU are an Ironman!

See you in Kentucky and good luck too all!

  1. TriBrian will come to the sad realization that all of the above was a heat-induced delusion :wink:

Seriously, I think you may be right on alot of those points. I’m hoping my broken-toe forced taper works in my favor as well. Good luck to you!

Love those positive vibes! Keep ‘em comin’!
