Thanks for the welcome. Race Reports are my favorite. I read them all and I love them all. I have never written my own however...
What I loved about Ironman Louisville
-the volunteers
-the athletes
-the guy who ran with me from mile 24-to the finish ( I don't know who he was but he had me going 7:30 pace and encouraged me the whole way)
-seeing my husband at every possible spot he could get to..and then some
-4th Street Live
-there is even a little love for the Ohio River
-grilled cheese and french fries dinner
-becoming an IRONMAN
What I disliked about Ironman Louisville
-miles 2-4 of the marathon ( I had a minor meltdown but somehow pulled myself out of it)
-throwing up for an hour after the finish (was that too much info?)
What I learned...
-mental game is everthing
-ice down your shirt is wonderful
-I can be so proud of 1800 people I don't even know.
