  • Comments: Another great race, much to the efforts of Johnson County Parks and Recs crew! I think there were over 900 people on the course which is a record I believe. It as a little crowded on the bike course at times but most people showed respect to others and stayed to the right to allow fasters riders to go through.

  • Comments: I thought the race was run well. Directions were easy to follow and clear. Race also featured every skill level. Winners went slightly above 45 minutes, and on the other end, there may be some people still on the course. Personal overall race comments: While I had lofty goals, and in other areas I rated this race a disappointment, this was only my second triathlon, the first only 3 weeks ago. I considered it a disappointment because I didn't achieve the goals I envisioned myself getting, no matter how lofty they were. However, overall, I am very pleased with this race. Getting up at 430am to do something grueling is not anything I've done in 15 years. I'm excited to do it again. This course was short on paper, but much more difficult (my opinion) than the 5150 course I did. I burned 4000 calories before half of the city even knew the sun was up. Just about everyone that passed me offered encouragement, and I did the same for everyone I passed, because we all knew that no matter

  • Comments: For as short a race as this was, it was pretty tough. I gave it my best and am happy with the results. I finished 8th (my lucky number) out of 141 women overall, and I'm not sure if they are doing 5-year or 10-year age groups for this race, but I'll be either 3rd or 4th in my age group, whichever it is. Although I didn't do any better this year in age group placing (got 3rd place last year), I improved my time 2 minutes over last year, and that was my main goal, so I'm very happy with how this race went.
