As far as your dates below, I might be interested, but couldn't commit yet until next week.

I would be up for a partial on the bike and run courses this Sunday maybe if we don't go ride Longview. The weekend after that I had considered doing the full bike course to see what I was in for.

Although, you guys would laugh at how slow I am on the bike. And on the run. And in the water.  

If I can convince the wife, I would be up for next sunday 4/29.  The group that we rode with two weeks ago is going to be back out there that day as well.

If you make it to Lawrence early enough Sunday, come say hi to me at 9th and New HAmpshire after the Kansas Half Marathon.

Couple of friends on Facebook are throwing around May 5 as a "ride the course" day if anyone else is interested. I would be happy to lead a 15-16mph group, plus a short brick run afterwards. 

I'd prefer a morning start but am pretty flexible.

Any takers?

1)  4/29 Group --- I propose a 9:00 start time.  Does that work for everyone?  I am flexible, but want to get an actual time thrown out there to keep this going.

2)  I am also in for the 5/5 Group -- Keep us updated on the start time for that one.

3)  Lisa --- Shoot me an e-mail about the parking spot on race day.  Check your PMs for my message and e-mail address.

Did a 50mi bike/10mi run brick on Saturday and am feeling pretty good about my preparation, but need more long days like that so I will be out the next 2 weekends with the groups.

Count me in with this group Will hopefully arrive there no later than 11AM (preferably earlier though you know how that goes sometimes). What time are you thinking you'd be starting?

11 a.m. start time sounds great to me.
It's pretty easy to park in T1 by the lake, that's where I would recommend.

Also, have I been living under a rock? Is this now a ONE-TRANSITION race? This map, taken directly from the race web site, indicates Bike Start & Finish are at the same location. In previous years they have been in different locations...?! 

Bumping this up to see who else is in for this Sunday.  Mark, could you do 8:30 or even 8:00?  My wife reminded me that my girls have a recital int he afternoon and I want to give myself a little more breathing room if possible.  But I can still make 9:00 work.

Who else???

Does 8:00 this Sunday morning work, or is that too early?  That would be ~3 hours for the bike and ~1 for the run, give or take, and allow me to get back for my daughters' recital.

Right now we have Mark, Jon, and Me.  Anyone else?

I could probably make it on the 5th.

Great!  Jon?  Anyone else?
