When is WTC going to do something with the IM Louisville website? I would have thought that they would have incorporated the same kind of functionality into their website that IMNA has, where you can check participant lists, AG’s etc. Any ideas when or if this may happen? It is 12deg in Indianapolis right now, and we need something to look forward to, and keep us motivated. The same shot of the bridge over the Ohio river, and no content, just ain’t cuttin it.
Rip, did you ride this morning :). I hit up the trainer twice this weekend. Hopefully won’t lose too much fitness in D.C. this week. I am in town today if you want to run after work.
I agree about the website. I obviously spend way too much time on the internet. This would allow us to find some more training buddies for sure.

Nah, even I will draw the line at 0deg wind chill on a road bike. I am running at lunch and swimfit tonight. Have a good trip.
Hopefully the people from IMLou will catch this post and answer some questions. If WTC is going to get into the individual events like this, they need to add some functionality to the website.
there is a participant lists up now. if you go to ironman.com and click on louisville look down by the host hotel list. right above that.
Sweet, i’m second on the list!
If you skim through the list, does it seem as though there are very few women registered in relation to other Ironmans?
Based on 45 names to a page and 50 pages (Adobe) it comes to about 2250 participants and women are about 475 or 21%. Does seem low in both # of participants and % of females. Too bad the WTC can’t put together a screener like IMNA.
CDA has 2,795 registered and 29% are women and I bet Canada is similar if not slightly higher.
About 270 in my age group (45-49) which is consistent with the number of participants.
Now if I could just export this to excel then I could give you good numbers.
I counted 55 guys in the 18-24 category. I don’t know if that is comparable with other races. It seems a bit low in my mind. The one thing I thought was funny was that I am one of the two non-Americans in my category.
okay I did the math
AZ - 20% female
IMLOU - 21%
FLD - 23%
LP - 24%
WI - 23%
CDA - 29%
IMC - 30%
I don’t know what this tells you but if I was a female trying to qualify I would avoid IMC where there are many females with the majority who have a few IM’s under their belt.
The % of females in US IMs is much higher than in Europe from what I can tell.
I extracted the data…hope this displays in a readable format
age group, #M, #F
18-24, 55, 15
25-29, 135, 61
30-34, 260, 72
35-39, 403, 96
40-44, 389, 110
45-49, 276, 83
50-54, 143, 27
55-59, 73, 8
60-64, 25, 0
65-69, 5, 0
70-74, 4, 2
75-79, 2, 0
total, 1770, 476
I might be off by one somewhere.

Thanks for the stats.
I am so excited that I turned 35 two weeks ago. Now I can do well in my age group(top third) and not even be in the top 100.
Uh, the only thing worse is realizing that I will be 40 on race day and in an even more competitive age group, if that is possible. At the least, it is the same. When are these fast guys going to die off or pick up internet poker or something?
For whatever reason WTC doesn’t really do anything useful with the participant lists for any of their races. It’s nice to be able to quickly see who’s doing it in from a particular state, etc. Same thing goes with the results from races…
Any thoughts on how the 45 age group slots for Kona will breakdown? I’m counting on 3 in the M50-54.
So, in the start list are people listed as real age, or (given the USAT rules) age group they will be racing in?
