  • Comments: I really like the KC Tri. I think they do a good job. The bring a good vibe and buzz. The offer good swag (however it was a bit less this year). This is not a complaint, however I find it funny: The day after the 2014 Tri, KC Tri sent out an email about the 2015 race and the new things they were offering: "carpet in transition area!", "KOM competition!", "Fastest Rider Competition!", "Slip and Slide finish line!". They didn't have any of these things. I'm glad they didn't....(the slip and slide sounds stupid) but I find it funny when race directors continue to promise things and then don't deliver. Perhaps this was an overzealous marketing intern that made these statements. Perhaps an insurer saw this list and knew how risky it was. I think the Kansas City Triathlon is the best race in KC. It doesn't need gimmicks. Overall, a very good race and I'll continue to participate in it.

  • Comments: Another well-run Kansa City triathlon. The crew was well aware of the possibilites of storms before the race and planned ahead accordingly. Speaks to their preparedness.

  • Comments: Here's my only gripe with the race, finish line beverages: flavored water and beer, I figure they cancel each other out so it's not really a gripe but I was unaware of any normal water being available at the finish, weird. Everything else was superb.
