I am adding topeka tinman, midwest mayhem, midwest meltdown, and jackson county all this year in an effort to do more races. pigman was a close second in my voting though, even though it is in a faraway land called iowa. |

Extreme Veteran 494 Overland Park, KS | Subject: RE: Vote for your favorite local tri!!!! I had never biked since I was almost 12 or 13 years old. I had just gotten a bike the week of the race and didn't even take it out for a test spin. shawnee mission's hills did not treat me well. |

Extreme Veteran 444 Olathe, KS Bronze member | Subject: RE: Vote for your favorite local tri!!!! I can't really vote for a favorite yet, either. I only did the women's tri and Jackson County last year. But they were both a ton of fun! I'm planning on doing many of the local tris this year (except for SMP probably) so maybe I should vote for my favorite at the end of the year. It's funny- so many people I've talked to say SMP is their favorite. Bunch of masochists....  |

Member 41 wichita, kansas | Subject: RE: Vote for your favorite local tri!!!! Salty dog is a great one, its in a pool and theres 5 laps on the bike so spectators can see you over and over. Plus its not that long, I always like that in a triathlon. |

Expert 675 West Metro Atlanta, GA | Subject: RE: Vote for your favorite local tri!!!! I did KC Women's Tri last season and it was top-notch. The same folks put on Flint Hills, which I was a spectator at last year. Will let you know my opinion of it once June 3rd rolls around. |

TinkerBeth 23096   Liverpool, New York | Subject: RE: Vote for your favorite local tri!!!! I did the Midwest Meltdown last year - enjoyed it. Challenging course (for me anyway) - it was quite hilly and the day we did it the morning started with it raining cats and dogs! I fully planned on doing the race again this year until I injured my foot - next year - I'm there! |

Expert 823 Stafford, Ks | Subject: RE: Vote for your favorite local tri!!!! Mudwater is by far my favorite. It's flat & fast. A bonus is that it is close to home. For being a new tri, 07 was second year, it is a first rate event. It will only get bigger!! Edited by El Flaco 2007-09-03 11:44 AM |

| Alpharetta, Georgia Bronze member | Subject: RE: Vote for your favorite local tri!!!! Question for those who liked Mayhem so much... what did you like about it? I did it for the first time this year and have to say it was the worst out of the 6 tri's I've done. I guess if you like a really small race it could be appealing, but there were so many other downsides I doubt I'll consider it again. Maybe I missed the good stuff??? |

Expert 844 Denver, Colorado | Subject: RE: Vote for your favorite local tri!!!! I didn't get tp participate in Jackson County but I got to watch this year and it seemed like a great race. A few small logistics issues. The tinman could be a good one but I was very unhappy with the way they delt with a timing mat issue and in handing out awards. |

Veteran 118 Roeland Park | Subject: RE: Vote for your favorite local tri!!!! Seeing as how I only got to do two tri's this year, I'd vote for Jackson County. Mayhem is a great race, but killer with the hill work. |
