  • Comments: I really can't think of what they could have done to make this event better. We did have a 10 minute fog delay before the first swim wave went off, but that was understandable. We could barely see the first buoy from the beach. People kept asking me, "Are there really buoys out there???" Since I had looked at the swim course the previous evening, I assured them that they were out there. Before the race, I told everyone that I would never do a race in Kansas in September again, but I've changed my mind. The conditions were perfect -- this race was much easier than doing the same thing in July -- even with the cold water and cold air temperature. I will be back next year.

  • Comments: The weather made this race different. If the rain wouldn't have cancelled the bike, it would have been a completely different event for me. I always feel better after I get off the bike because it's my favorite. It gets me pumped for the run. I felt kind of weirdly rushed the whole morning and it affected me. But, it is a great event. Very organized, great people, great gifts given away, the goody bag was INCREDIBLE! I will definitely do this race again next year. And when I bring four newbies with me next year, I will get there early enough that I'm all settled and ready to go so helping them won't take so much from my own race.

  • Comments: Given the weather conditions and the cancellation of the bike course this was extremely well run! They communicated wonderfully, the orientations were awesome and the post-race activities that were held were pretty good. Had the women's health expo and everything not been cancelled due to rain this would have been the best event ever.
