Carlos knows wherefore he speaks.
Keep your Galt House reservation.

Tom, it's only a couple of blocks to finish line and to Great Lawn where the transition area is. Assuming they walk fairly well, they should be fine. I'd bet someone on here would be willing to help them out if needed. If I am not volunteering I will.

Tom,
If you want them near the Transition Zone, that's the hotel you are looking for.
If you are looking for a hotel near the finish line, I would reccomend a hotel close to 4th street.
We stayed at the Louisville Marriot Downtown and it's way and I mean way closer to the finish line.
Again, the Galt is where you will pick your package, where the expo is and very near where you will drop your things on Saturday and from where you will start on Sunday.
However, if you want them near the finish line, my choice would be the Marriot. It helps to know your hotel is close to where you will finish. Just keep in mind that your bike and bags will be near the TZ and you will eventually have to pick them up, or have someone to do it while you are running (which was my case and it was appreciated not having to go all the way back to TZ after finishing the race.
Both have their pros and cons.

Can someone please help me out on the hotel. I booked the Gault House. This will be my first Ironman so my parents (in their 70s) and my 4 year-old son will be there with me. I am hoping this hotel is convenient to the finish line as well as any other activities. I needa place where they do not have to struggle to walk back and forth too much. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tom

That's a good idea Kathy...I'll definitely get some gear. I wish I didn't have to wait a year though!

Comment by Kathy Nichols on September 26, 2011 at 10:50pm -
Luke, I don't know where you live but next year in Louisville they will have 2011 gear at half off. I bought a lot of 2010 gear this year at the expo. Besides that, I don't know where else to look. Good luck!

Ironman Gear
I didn't buy any "Ironman" gear at the store before the race and by the time I got there on Monday, everything was packed up. To my surprise, I can't find anywhere online to buy a polo shirt with the IM logo on it. The IronmanStore website has almost nothing. Any clue as to where I can go to get some gear?
