Ironman Tracking this Sunday

To get updates on Mike's progress, here's what you need to know:

1. Follow Mike (#357) online at www.Ironman.com (look for the Ironman Live information on Sunday). They'll be posting split times along the way and you can access live video footage throughout the day (see the Athlete Tracker). Starting in the early afternoon they'll have a camera set up at the finish line and that'll run until midnight (click Audio/Video within the tracker). Check for updates throughout to predict his finish time and then watch him break the tape to become an Ironman! We anticipate him finishing as early as 10pm and as late as 11:59. ;)

2. I'll be updating the world via Twitter each time we see him on the course. We've got Mike all set up with a Twitter account now, so any updates I'll be sending can be seen here and here.

3. When I remember, I'll try and do a bit of photo blogging. Using Mike's phone...posting to Mike's blog.

4. If you can't wait (or are away from your computer) and need an immediate update...you've got my phone number. Just text me. Or call me. I can't guarantee I'll hear you over my cowbell; afterall, I am an equal opportunity cowbell kind of gal and will be valiantly cheering for everyone...and naturally, extra loud for Mike.


If you can't tell, not much will be posted on here during the race. You'll have to head over to here to get all the updates as they come.

We've got lots to do and so very little time to do it in. We're leaving bright and early tomorrow morning, and we still have a ridiculous amount of packing to do. So have a fabulous day...and I'll touch base when we're in Louisville!
