Louisville athlete guide up...question

The athlete guide for Louisville is now on their site. After reading it though, it appears that there are no special needs bags for this IM…? They allow “special foods bags”, which can contain food only. Nowhere in the guide does it mention special needs for other items.

Does anyone know anything more about this? Is this unusual?

thanks!

Surprising. That isn’t the way NA Sports does it. Don’t know about what WTC does at Kona, since I have never qualified.

Kona is supposed to be special foods only.

Reading further…they are not even going to attempt to return your “special foods” bags…just headed to the trash…guess I’m gonna find two water bottles that can be sacrificed to the WTC gods…

So this means rather than putting an additional tubie in your SNB you better carry two? Seems kind of chicken-shit to me.

It also says “You will not have access to your bike and run gear bags on race morning until after the swim”…Are other IM’s like that? The only other one I have done is IMW and you could check your bags the morning of if you needed to (ie…Add more clothes, forgot something, put food in jersy, piece of mind that you have everything, etc) Do you really think they won’t let us have access to our bike/run bags on race morning?
