Iron Pol

One of the minor disappointments from Ironman Louisville was the finisher's bag.  The main letdown?  That there weren't finisher's bags.  No finisher's hat.  No finisher's shirt.  Just the medal.  It would have been nice to get something, ANYTHING, other than the medal to indicate an Ironman finish.  It just looks wrong when I wear that medal to work.  Even if it IS casual Friday.

The one silver lining was the announcement that came just days after the race.  As a "thank you" to participants, all finishers would be provided a copy of the finisher DVD shown at the award ceremony.  A great many people have been anxiously awaiting that video since the announcement was made.  And continue to wait.

A quick check with several others who completed the race confirmed that the videos have yet to be sent.  That is the kind of situation that warrants a note to the race director.  And despite the feeling many had that any message would fail to get a response, there was a positive reply.  Apparently, the videos were sent out last week.  A mere eight weeks after the race (six weeks after the announcement).

Of course, as with any good business, the E-mail added that dreaded caveat...

Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.

Perhaps it will get here in time for Christmas.
