  • Comments: Good to be back at the KC Tri, a well run event. I sprung for the VIP experience hoping my family would come out but the kid's sleeping schedule did not allow, also the extra VIP swag pretty much offsets the cost.

  • Comments: Event almost doubled in size this year and is now the largest regional event of the year. This of course draws more of the top competition.

  • Comments: Unbeknownst to me, I picked a rather big event for my first, but it was pretty cool watching the pros (including a US Olympian for London) tear it up. I learned a lot. It was pretty cool passing my family on the course 6 times. Couldn't help but smile every time I ran by their loud mouths. My goal for this race was to break 1:45:00. I smashed that.

  • Comments: Event coordinator has made this race huge in the last two or three years. VERY WELL DONE AND WILL COME BACK NEXT YEAR. Changed bike course in the week prior to race and recieved no notification but course was well marked. (original course would have had fewer turns) e-mail would have been nice saying to check course change or even at packet pickup could have been mentioned (even though there was a "new" map laying out on table)

  • Comments: Only thing I did not like was the organizers changed the bike route several times and shortened the swim from 750m to 500m and did not really do a good job at notifying anyone. Other than that it was well put together and a lot of fun.

  • Comments: This is a race to remember. Jacob was running through a waist deep puddle at the end of the race as I was getting close to the finish line. He was yelling for me, waving, waist deep in water with it gushing up in the air on both of his sides. It was priceless!

  • Comments: Would do it again next year. Wish the swim starter had his own sound system instead of a megaphone. He kept turning and looking at the water while he was talking, so much of the announcements were missed. Was hard to understand as well. But, overall I don't have much to compare it to, so since it was a milestone for me I'll give it a hearty 'fins up'!

  • Comments: As this was my first race I didn't have anything to compare to so I put AVERAGE in most of the field on this report except for some I felt more strong about one way or the other. I didn't push as hard as I could have, as I needed the experience and HAD to avoid a DNF! My run time was the same as EVER. Every time I do a timed 5k I end up right around 38 minutes whether I've been running recently, or not for weeks. Only this morning did I realized I set a run PR (if slightly) on the run course when I factored in my restroom break and still came in at 39 minutes. I think I did really well on the bike as well, my average is closer to 10mph when I'm out training with hills involved and I did 14.4 here. I got teary several times during the race. Like starting to cry. Nobody came to see me at the finish line which was okay with me but seeing the support of others was uplifting too. (I had no idea when I'd finish, and I wouldn't want the kids to have to sit there that long with

  • Comments: did the experience - only way to do it. no long walks, place to sit, water, pop, food available. found i was able to do it - really didn't think that i would. swim was more difficult than i ever could imagine. ride was easier than i ever could imagine. run was about what i expected. took the ride and the run way too easy. under the circumstances, i did what i had to do to make sure that i finished.
