  • Comments: Nice, small, and well-organized race. Although the race temps can be fickle year to year with it being mid-May I would recommend as a good first triathlon.

  • Comments: This was my first outdoor tri, and I loved it, despite the frigid temperatures. It was organized, and everyone helped me get situated and comfortable. I would highly recommend this for a first timer, and will be looking to do this in the future.

  • Comments: Well - last Du I ran I finished DFL. This time I finished better than 11% of the participants. That's something, I guess. There were two points in the last run that I was almost DNF. First one was going up the windy hill after I hurt my back. I called on Vanesa and she answered (like she always seems to do). The second time was on my way to the downhill. Along come 5 or six people (all guys but one). They are racing in the cruiser division, which they do every year, and they have a theme. This year it wa Talladega Nights. They were dressed like Ricky Bobby. One guy was solely wearing tighty whiteys. One guy had a shirt on that said "If you ain't first, you're last". As they came up next to me they asked if I was OK (evidently the pain was reflected on my face). I said yeah, just a little back pain and they started with the "Shake and Bake" and made me laugh out loud. Rerally picked me up. My wife got a picture of them.

  • Comments: I understand the decision to change the Tri to a Du and it was a great opportunity to give Duathlon a shot. Definitely appreciate JCPR and all the volunteers holding this event given the conditions.

  • Comments: I only give this race an average listing, because come to find out (never was mentioned before) that if you were in the opening wave (or the "elite" wave then you were not eligible for age group awards). . . Huh? This was a first. I don't mind that, but at least put it in print somewhere so we know beforehand.

  • Comments: Kind of odd awards deal, I got a plaque for 1st in age group but there were 5 guys ahead of me from the opening heat. Race director said that anyone in opening heat was only competing for overall, not age group awards. I thought they only pulled the ones who placed overall out of the age groups, not the entire heat, makes the age group race sort of a B race, but it's still a nice plaque.

  • Comments: With the water temp at 52 degrees, I made the last second switch to the duathlon. I was a little uncertain at the start, but I could not have expected a better performance. Very happy with my result.

  • Comments: This is a very nice first of the season race to do. This is the first time where I have done a triathlon with the mindset of racing to win or place very high. I need to have more confidence in my ability in the water and bike and really need to work some more on the run. No excuses, but I did bike 95 miles on Saturday (the day before). :)

  • Comments: I like this race better than the other ones I have done around KC. The fact that it has been run for several years I am sure helps. The only complaint I have is the water quality of the lake, but that is not something that can be fixed.

  • Comments: I had so much fun and could not believe my time when I finished. I was shooting for 1:20 and when I finished the clock was 1:13:xx and I thought I did great and then I realized I was in the third wave so my time was even better than I thought. This will be a great benchmark for me. What an incredibibly beautiful day for a race. I am certainly learning what my body can take and was pleased to still have a little gas left in the end for a good kick to finish. I didn't hold much back but was probably in the 90-95% of effort.
