  • Comments: The volunteers at Redman are second to none. I could not have been more pleased with how well stocked the aid stations were, how well manned the intersections were, or how enthusiastic and helpful the volunteers were. I will definitely be doing this race again!

  • Comments: This was the best hosted race I have ever seen. They had kid games and mini duathlon for them. great seating and even gave our support staff drinks and snacks. Lots of aid stations. and I saw a few volunteers sprint down runners to give them water if too many people came through. That is amazing. Our team is making this a every year event. Thank you Redman staff and Volunteers.

  • Comments: All in all a very successful race, sub 5 hour goal met, brief delusions of grandeur about going sub 4:50 before getting slapped in the legs with the reality cramps. Race erganization was very good, as mentioned above the swim course marking left a lot to be desired but at least we were swimming, i wasn't interested in doing a half-iron du. On a much more somber but strangly wierd note, a fella from Olathe (5 miles away) that had the same name as me and nearly same age drown over the weekend (completely unrelated to triathlon, as far as I know) which made the local news Sunday night. Most everyone at work knew I was racing on Saturday, having been out of the office on Friday. With all due respect for the deceased and his family, it's been almost comical how many times I've had to explain today that I am in fact still alive.
