-> I should be out of the water by 9:30 at the latest.

->Complimentary shuttle bus service will be available from downtown Louisville to LaGrange (and back) on race day from 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Following the swim, spectators can walk to the corner of Witherspoon and First Street to catch the bus to LaGrange. The shuttle bus drop- off/pick-up location in LaGrange is in front of the courthouse at the corner of Main and Second Streets.
-> The Bike Course closes at 5:30 so you know I have to be back in to transition before then to start the run that I will enjoy so much J
->Run maps are also enclosed with lots of stars.. this is when I am going to need you all the most J Come with signs, noise makers, you name it! It s a loop course, that we do twice, so you will and can see me lots!
