IronMan Louisville 2010 Swim Preview:Unlike all other IronMan races, the swim at Louisville is a time trial start. The cut-off time starts when the last swimmer has entered the water, so Jodee and I plan to get down there as early as possible!
We swim in the Ohio river and start the race (yep, you guessed it) swimming up-stream for the first part of the race. We then make a 180 degree turn around an island and finish the rest of the swim down-stream.
It will be interesting to see how strong the current is. As much as I don't want to fight it at the start, it would be a nice help for what looks like the last 2/3 of the race.
But I guess we'll find out soon enough. We'll see if we do a test run the day or two before the race. We'll be in Louisville two full days ahead of time so maybe we will.
I'll preview the bike soon...
