Subject: RE: Ironman Kansas 70.3 : Official Threadlemyhr - 2010-04-06 5:28 PM scotty930 - 2010-04-03 4:57 PM I am tent camping. But then again, I am probably much younger, don't care as much about the accommodations, have all the necessary equipment to tent camp, and find it enjoyable to go back to the basics once in a while. haha, you might be younger... I'm 23 though (24 by race day! ). I'm just asking because I've only gone tent-camping once in my life and I wasn't quite sure if it would be the best way to prepare sleep/food/etc. -wise before this race... I tent camped at this race last year. It was no biggie to me because I never sleep well before races anyway. I really enjoyed being literally ON-SITE when I rolled out of bed in the morning... no race day traffic, no parking headaches, no walking from some remote parking lot... just wake up and walk to transition! Plus it was so much cheaper than a hotel room. We also drove into Lawrence for dinner the night before - it's no more than a 10 minute drive. Others in our group had an Italian restaurant in Lawrence deliver their dinner directly to the camp site, I thought that was pretty genius! Otherwise, lots of people brought their own food and camp grills and such. Edited by lisac957 2010-04-06 7:12 PM
