KC Tri 5150 (Page 2)

I would be interested, but it would have to be pushed back a bit later, as I'm Graduating that morning.  I could probably due Noon at the earliest, but don't make plans around me!

I'm planning on joining the swim and ride.  You mentioned its organized by a master's group, but are free to join, right?

actually rode THAT hill last weekend as well as the 2011 course and it's a bear but still quite tolerable: 170' vertical in .68 miles is ~5% grade vs 177' in 1.13 miles ~3% grade from the 2011 course direction.  THAT hill is also part of the Jackson County tri.

Last year there were just over 600 finishers between the sprint and olympic (per onlineraceresults.com) , I've heard that there are 1200 people signed up this year, the course is supposed to be fully closed to traffic so 2 lanes in each direction will be very nice for the sprint and the second lap of the oly.

If I make it, it will be a Saturday morning decision.  Please let me know if a group of one or more will be there so I don't make a trip in and nobody is there.

Thanks!

Most people turn off Ratown road at Pittenger Rd toward the transition/swim beach parking (which is usually blocked this time of year), take the 1st left, then the next right to the 1st parking area closest to the beach. You can do your ride from there and when finished easily hope on the trail for your run.

BTW the bathrooms were still locked last week.

Yeah, you might lose your voice after the bike ride having to say "on your left" so many times. Do they make a horm that when squeezed, makes the sound "on you left"?

Hey, the good news is that with all those people on the course you might get a little draft action.

where are the details on this open water swim Tuesday night posted, please?
