Earlier in this journal I wrote that the swimming portion of Ironman Louisville would be a straight shot down the river. Triathletes would be dropped off a barge and would swim down river for 2.4 miles. I was told (by an Ironman rep) that was the original plan. However, they changed their minds and it will be an up and back swim. In other words, we'll be swimming against the current for 1.2 miles and then heading back. You can see the course here.
I guess just going down stream wasn't "Ironman" enough.
Hopefully I'll have the chance to swim it before race day. If so, I'll post my experience.
