Ironman Tracking Information :-). It's Only THREE days away!!!!!

Morning Everyone!!! It is Ironman week! In just 3 days at 7:00am the cannon will go off and over 2000 athletes will begin their day.  Here is all of the info that I know of and can give you to help guide you through the day and if you would like to find me ... this will be your best best :).

First, if you would like a sheet that gives estimates as to where I will approximately be on the course at certain points in the day, shoot me an email or text and i will get a copy to you :-).  

Great places to spectate on the bike are in Mt Horeb at the high school, in Middleton on Timber Lane (a lot of people there and it is a big hill, so no one, except the pros are moving up it very fast) or in Middleton at Midtown Road (crazy big hill too and people aren't moving very fast :). There are a lot of people in Verona heading towards downtown, but peeps are moving pretty fast.

On the run, the best places to are are State Street ... if you can get a table outside, it is an awesome spectator spot and you can have food or beverages. Also Breese Terrace right by Camp Randall is an awesome spot too. We pass by there 4 times. Observatory Drive is a good spot as I will probably be walking up that thing ... eesh :).

Below is a link to the course so you know where everything is:

I am also getting an athlete tracker GPS. You will be able to track me on the bike and the run and know exactly where I am on the course. If you have an Android or iPhone smart phone, there is a free app that you can download and use that, or you can track from a laptop, desktop, Kindle Fire, iPad, etc.

Ironman Wisconsin probably wont be up on the site until either this Thursday or Friday. Here is the link to the site, that gives you all of that information and gives you direct links to download the app. Please let me know if you have any questions.

You can also go to www.ironmanwisconsin.com and on race day, click on live coverage.  You can search an athlete to track and once you find my name, you can click on it and it will give more detailed information or you can watch the live video feed too. 

Thanks so much for all of your support over these last 9ish months. It means the world to me and whether you are on the course that day or cheering from afar, I will hear you :)..

Have a great day!!!!
