Great Job to all the CE member who competed this past weekend at Hueston Woods, Ironman Wisconsin, all of the Rev3 Races, and Ironman 70.3 Half Ironman Championships in Las Vegas!
CE really has some incredible athletes in the greater Cincinnati area. Congratulations to all who raced and be sure to celebrate your successes with your friends and family!
What a turn out for CE in Louisville, KY. We had many athletes give Ironman a first shot with first time finishes. Experienced athletes also enjoyed the nicer weather (85 degrees) and crushed the course.
Congratulations to all CE finishers!

Up next, Ironman Wisconsin (http://ironmanwisconsin.com/). Also, keep our Deer Creek CE Team Cookout on 10/2 on your schedule this fall.
With Ironman Louisville upon us this month and a few Ironman distance races open for 2012, some of you may be considering registering for next year (these often sell out 12 months in advance). If you are considering longer distance race for 2012, take a look at the training plan below to give you a flavor of what a strong full Ironman training season might look like.
We have many very experienced Full IM members, let us know if you have any questions on the message board!

Ironman Louisville is quickly approaching and a number of our CE Members are in taper mode. Good luck to Jessica Leonard, Alverson, Amanda Lyndsey, Sarah Speicher, Kevin Dobson, Todd Morgan, Karen Martin, Tony Rudd, Amy Engel, Mark Bunch & John Book. During the taper, many of us develop the traits of angry bears – so proceed with caution!
