buckeyeguy77 - 2013-04-18 5:38 PM Crowie announced he'll be doing Kansas this year.  He's done Racine the past 2 years.  I'm 0-2 against him, I think this is my year to finally beat him!  (sarcastically)

I beat Crowie at Racine in 2010.  Well, technically he finished (several hours) before I did, but he ran across the finish line with his daughter.  Per WTC's own rules, that's an automatic DQ.  I'm assuming that Craig was devastated when the race officials notified him of his disqualification.

Pulled the trigger & finally signed up today before the prices went up! It should be fun, & can't be worse conditions than last year right??

Hoping Crowie will be around to hand me my medal... After he showers, eats, naps, & does a little shopping in KC. That should give me enough time to get across the line!

Crap. I forgot about the price increase. I'm originally from Missouri but moved north for work last year. We're having a long winter for sure still in the 30s in the AM. How's the weather around KC?

Cold! With lots of rain and snow.... means too much time on the trainer and not enough on the roads.

 

Clinton Lake is sitting at a balmy 51 degrees when I checked yesterday per the Corp of Eng website.

 

Thankfully, weather looks to be improving finally, so it should warm up plenty by the race.Come race day, I'll bet were wishing for the weather we have right now.

Athlete guide was posted and I saw that we start early at 6:38, which is great. The one thing I didn't see was the order each AG wave will start. Did I miss it?

Great to see their will be an Iron Kids race. My son will probably insist on doing that race.

I'm in. Got some time off work and will be coming up from Ga. Looking forward to this event as it will be my first official IRONMAN 70.3. Actually doing Mountain Madness 70.3 this weekend in north Ga then recover and tune up for this race.

I didn't see the wave starts posted yet either.  Really wish it was a clockwise swim instead of counter clockwise though.

Rode the course today for the 2nd time. First was a disaster, this was just bad. Preparing for a generally poor race in a month.
