Ironman 70.3 Kansas : Official Thread (Page 13)

Another dumb first timer question.

OK, I'm a big Chris Lieto fan and I see he's signed up.  Do the Pro's usually do any kind of a meet the fans events or autograph signings?

sweet, that's awesome.  Maybe we can get Lieto to swing by the BT party Saturday night too.  

Lieto was dealing with a foot injury in Hawaii this past weekend so I'll be curious to see if he races, depending on the severity of the injury.

There are no specific events to meet the pros as a whole, but if you don't catch them milling around the finish line afterwards, you can always stick around for the awards ceremony at 3:30 and try to catch them then.

Good luck to all racing, wish I could be there, but there is always next year.

Looks to be hot,

My prediction for tuwood, 4:59:59

Now if I could just get my refund back from the park for my site cancelation, 5 phone calls, 7 weeks, and about 20 emails later, still nothing. They say it's on the way though, and they have my address right so not sure what the problem is, it's not gonna kill me, just the principal behind it, I'd like to have my money back, minus the processing fee, lol.

And will be riding this:

I don't have a picture with it on yet, but here's my zoot.

And Bike with new Aero Helmet

I think the conditions will make that tough, but that doesn't mean I won't try.  

If I can get in with enough steam (or lack of steam with the heat) left to waddle out a sub 1:45 run then I've still got a shot.

Way to be optimistic Ali, I love it!!!!  It was 100 degrees last year in Racine for my first HIM so I'm figuring that if I survived that...

Is Kansas a dry heat or super humid like it is in WI when it's 90?

Thanks that's just wonderful (said sarcastically but keeping with the whole power of positive pre-race thinking).  Anyone who thrives on these conditions should definately come North and do the Racine race in July. Thanks for the info.

My husband is a meteorologist and has been giving me updates daily this week. Unfortunately the temps have been increasing : ( 

Say hi if you see me Sunday! Here is my bottom half! The wand is a little busted, it doesn't work all the time

"Work" as in you can wave it at me and make me miraculously finish the run on Sunday?

Love it! Have you worn this every year you do this race?

This will be the 4th year for "Glinda the Good Witch" to race. It's a new tutu, but yes I wear one every year

"Dorothy" posted a few pages ago - hoping one of these years she comes back. We sure had fun on the run course that first year

That was so much fun!!

That was my 2nd year as Dorothy...did it 3 years in a row.  Last year I did Boise. This year I have work travel in the way.  I should come back next year.  So many races, so little time!  Like I said, my red sparkly shoes are getting dusty!  But Toto's basket sure made a great place to stash gels and sunscreen. LOL!  And in case anyone is wondering, yes, I carried that basket and little stuffed dog for 13.1 miles!
