Pro  4339    Husker Nation |  Subject: Ironman Kansas 70.3Hey - how about that. I found out where to start the thread for the race! Edit 1: I didn't know they'd put this in the Kansas forum... where there's ALREADY a thread for the race! This is the thread that people will see when they go to the RaceLink and click on 2008 as shown here. Edit 2: You should also see in your training logs a little thing pictured in #2.

Extreme Veteran 732 Omaha, USA | Subject: RE: Ironman Kansas 70.3 I emailed the race director last week concerning the specators ability to move from transition area to "the cross" of the bike route and back to transition, still no answer. Also asked about parking in the event specators would like to arrive closer to start time and again no answer. Anyone know anything about this stuff? |

Veteran 117 Frontenac , Kansas | Subject: RE: Ironman Kansas 70.3 I was going to travel in on Friday June 13th. I plan on driving up my utility van and want to park it, I'm camping at the lake. Does anyone know if there's a shuttle that will run between the Lake and Lawrence? It would be an inconvience to pull up camp every time I went to town. If no shuttle, does anyone have any suggestions? |

From the RD last week on KC Multisport Message Board: http://kcmultisport.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_joomlaboard&Itemid=38&func=view&id=483&catid=6 I don't have the time to put everything on here but please wait til the spectator's guide comes out. Everything will work out just fine. Spectators will have up til 0900 to enter and then after 1215 to get into the park. |

I have a 39/54 chainring with a 12/27 cassette. Think that's OK? I don't train w/ power but if you have trained on a course in Omaha or Olathe area that would be comparable.... I have a 52/42 w/ 12*25, avg. about 18mph on IMKS course on May 4, got out of the saddle a few times and a few other times to relieve my butt. |

I have a 39/54 chainring with a 12/27 cassette. Think that's OK? 12/25 would be more than adequate on the rear.... 12/27 is what you use when you go over the Rockies... |
