2017 IM Louisville Roll Call......Who's In?
Yes, your legs are sore; you have blisters and rashes in places that only a post race shower can discover; and your statement of “I’m never doing another one of these again” are all becoming a distant memory.
Don’t act like you’re not thinking about it. Who’s in for 2017?
And for those of you lurking at home...and were inspired by your teammates...did you pull the trigger?!

I pulled the trigger at check-in! 3rd times the charm!
YAY Sabra! You will be awesome!
I am a possibility for this event, looking at this or Los Cabos.
as far as how far in advance, depends on you. I usually show up thursday late day for a Sunday race.
I will be moving to Indianapolis in May and would love to head down to Louisville at some point to preview the bike course.
@Tom, it will be a blast!!! Raced there last year and am returning this year!
I am the Assistant Volunteer Coordinator for Ironman Louisville. I have been involved with the race either volunteering or racing (2009) from the beginning. We are so excited to have you coming to our race! I wanted to let you know that the volunteer data base is now open if you have any family or friends who might be interested.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me and hopefully I will see you in Louisville!

Where was that video posted? can you send it through just so i can see the lay of the land or shall i say water? ha
I have see a lot of videos on the "old" bike course they say but not the swim.
If you are not a member I would suggest joining if you want a lot of news about the course. We have some very active locals that post pictures and diagrams about the swim, actual ride video and elevation of the ride course and are very open to answering questions.
I'm not sure if I have ever heard an official reason given for the time change but it is debated and asked about a lot on the FB groups. If I had to guess the reason for the time change it is because of the lack of daylight. When the race was in August we had more daylight hours. I can tell you from experience it is difficult on volunteers and hard to recruit for volunteer positions that go much past midnight. Most of the athletes will schedule off work on Monday but most of our volunteers and volunteer groups go back to work and have school on Monday.
It does not matter when you start the swim all athletes are given 16 hours to finish. This is taken from the straight from the 2016 athlete guide. Don't stress out about lining up for the start.
RACE TIMING AND CUT-OFFS The race will officially end 16 hours after the last age group athlete starts the swim. Each athlete, regardless of what time they enter the water, will have 16 hours to complete the entire race course (swim, bike and run courses). Aid station stops, transitions, etc., will be included in your total elapsed time. Splits be will recorded for each segment of the race.
Thanks Kelly...
