Street Closings and Real Athletes
By Bruce Keisling August 23, 2007
After waiting so long for Brad Wheeler to have a post here I hate to put something on top of it, but events demand it. Please read past this post for Brad’s maiden post.
Apparently Louisville is hosting the Ford Ironman Triathlon this Sunday, and the race course for the run will be right down Third Street in front of 3ABC. Sam announced this past Sunday that the street would be closed about 10:30 a.m. — This may be all the encouragement you need to get to church early this week. My guess is that you can cross Third when there will be breaks in runners, at least that’s what they do with the 5K run at Derby. If you plan on visiting us Sunday, please allow some extra time to get to us.
For Keith and others who debate the merits of various sports and sporting events, I think this one must be at the very top. These athletes will swim 2.4 miles in the Ohio River. They will run 26.2 miles, and they will bike 112 miles — and all in the same day. I stand in awe. Could football players do this Keith?
