• Comments: I had a great time at this race and was really impressed. They gave away a ton of stuff with your registration, and everything was well organized. I was also really happy with the overall amount of competition at this race! It was really stacked, and it's fun to race really good people!

• Comments: Overall, I loved the race. I'm entering my 3rd season of triathlon and it's amazing that this is actually my first local race. We've typically travelled as a family for races in the past. It was nice to sleep in my own bed and to be so close. I wanted to love the Kansas City Tri as it is the flagship "hometown" race and I really feel they did a great job of trying to make it a bigger event. Nice freebies, good race support, perfect weather, well marked bike course, etc. I thought things went well. Sure, the ground in transition was rough...but that's a minor quibble. I will definitely do this race again. I'm also happy that the power struggle between the 5150 series and KC tri seems to be dead. Last year, both races were scheduled for the same day and I think everyone lost. I hope to see both events thrive.

• Comments: All in all I'm very happy I did this. This was actually only my 2nd official Olympic distance race and a PR! The Hy-Vee qualifier was supposed to be my first but the swim was cancelled so Hy-Vee was my first where I went 2:25 so beat that by a couple minutes. I'll have to say the wetsuit swim had a lot to do with it. The race was well organized and there were plenty of volunteers. The SWAG was excellent, two T-shirts, blanket, water bottle, beer glass and a few other items. Post race grub was "meh" as all I could find was oranges and maybe bananas. NO CHOCOLATE MILK???? That's my favorite post race. If you bought the VIP Exerience the post race grub was better I hear (BBQ I think).

• Comments: Well done race. Lots of swag given out. Noticed an increased presence of USAT race officials in transition and on the bike course, which is good.
