  • Comments: First year for the race. It's all right. This is NOT flat. In fact, I think it's the hilliest run in general I've ever done in my life. Prepare yourself. Course was severly marked short; my Garmin read 12.8 miles; that was kind of disappointing.

  • Comments: Not sure I liked the bus back to the starting area thing, but they did seem to have a pretty good system going. Can't really fault the race organizers for the water on the course or the wind. It appears from several different Garmins that the course was a couple 10ths short. That's kind of a bummer. Still, can't really complain since the race was free w/Ironman Kansas 70.3 sign up.
