Master  3888      Overland Park, KS |  Subject: K.C. area OWS race "feeler"Missouri Valley Masters swim organization (MOVY) is looking into have an open water swim race this summer at Longview Lake. They're thinking June and it looks like the best weekend might be June 10-11. The Legend race is June 4 then weekend of June 17-18 is Tinman and KCCC Tri. The challenge will be number of participants. The cost is likely to be in the $40 range not including a one day USMS license for those that aren't a USMS member. Distances would most likely be 1/2 mile, 1 mile and 2 mile. Who here on BT would be interested? Since it would be at Longview lake, a bike ride could follow as well as a run so could be a nice brick workout day as well. |

Extreme Veteran 516 Olathe, KS | Subject: RE: K.C. area OWS race "feeler" I'd be interested. I am also not a registered master member and would have to pay the one-day fee. If that fee is over $10, and if I'm being honest, I'm more likely than not to just put that $50+ fee towards another triathlon race. |

Master 3888 Overland Park, KS | Subject: RE: K.C. area OWS race "feeler" I think the one day fee might be in the $20 range. Unfortunately putting on Open Water swims is not cheap. There are a lot of requirements governed by USMS which adds to the cost of these races. But that's the type of feedback I'm looking for. |

New user 147 Overland Park, KS | Subject: RE: K.C. area OWS race "feeler" I think if they made that post swim bike ride and run mandatory, timed the whole event, and managed to keep the cost around $60 they could really be on to something.
