  • Comments: This was my 1st triathlon, but it was fun and makes me want to do another one. This gives me a good base line to see what I need to work on (everything), and the confidence that I can definitely do it.

  • Comments: This race had a few hiccups along the way, but it's too be expected for an organization running the Tinman for the first time. In fact, they acknowledged some issues (transitions racks and course lengths) but they should have things cleared up come next year. The actual race went well, plenty of volunteers and support. Ultramax does a good job with their events. I talked with my uncle after the race, who works on the Shawnee County P&R board, and he said that so far they've been happy with what they've put together in comparison to KLM. A lot of first timers at this event too. When asked, I think at least 80% of the F29&U wave raised their hands saying it was their first tri race.

  • Comments: The course was on the opposite side of the lake this year. The location provided the RD with some challenges. I would suggest that the original location but used for next year. There was not enough bike racks for age groups. My age group was over filled and the racks failed. Had to find a new spot. Took too long to get fixed. The after race activities were great.
