Subject: Ironman 70.3 Kansas as 2nd HIM In 2012 I completed my 1st HIM - Ironman 70.3 Racine and it was a blast; thanks to the super helpful advice from BT to choose that race and how to prepare for it. Sure - I was certainly slow compared to some of the speedsters, but I truly enjoyed the experience; enough so that I am ready to schedule a 2nd for 2013, Ironman 70.3 Kansas.
Before I - gulp - make the plunge, are there any folks that can comment if it is a good 2nd race? I am choosing this as it is within driving distance and is at the beginning of my daughters summer swim schedule. After that weekend, lots of summer activities get going that will tie me up for the remaining summer. Well - there was one other option, the 70.3 in Hawaii, but I only want to make that trip for the full Ironman - Some day, but that is another topic...
I have read through some of the race stories, but am interested in specifically if there is anything unique about it that might make it a poor choice for someone with limited Long Course experience.
Thanks in advance!
