What day is it? What day is it? It's hump daaaaaaaay...

Who's in for this Sunday? I"m doing the long course for the first time. Between KC Corporate Challenge and the non-rain outs of the traditional SM Tri I've done the short course a half dozen times so it's time a a change of pace.

I heard there will be some banana like Shenanigans going on at the top of the dam hill, should be a fun day.

I will be doing the Du. My first sprint tri was last September (Silverback - Lawrence) and wasn't in the pool enough this year to do the tri, so I am glad there is a Du option. I just wonder how many are signed up for it?

Welcome to BT Joe and good luck Sunday. I'll be wearing a white tri top with my TTT logo on front, should be the very first bike rack when you walk into Transition if you want to say hello.

Welcome to BT Chris! Not sure how many Duathletes will be there but ask when you go to packet pickup. I did HP3 on a wet morning there were only 55 that did the duathlon but wet roads scared many away I think. Good luck Sunday!

Thanks Reece!

I did the HP3 last year as my first du. Then Silverback as my first Tri last year. I already got my packet and forgot to ask, oh well. I guess we will see Sunday.

See you guys out there! Good luck!

I asked and there were less than 50 signed up for the Du. Tri attendance is down from last year also. I heard less than 500 total will be out there Sunday. That's actually good in terms of bike navigation on the course.

How did everyone do?

I did ok, wish I would have done better. 13th out of 43 for the DU. The second run blew me up. With the heat I drank too much water and just couldn't maintain a steady run. Had to walk a lot but still finished decent.

Nice work! That's a tough course no matter how you slice it. I finally stepped up and did the long course and had a good day. My swim was average, bike was solid and run went better than I expected given I've been averaging less than 10 miles per week this whole year. Since my friend Kevin was the overall winner and is in my age group that bumped me up to 1st in AG, I got 6th overall. Had the second fastest bike split of the day, by only one second. Actually the fastest bike split was this kid on a relay team that averaged...wait for it....25.5 mph for 4 laps. I think that kid is Cat 1/pro material for sure.

I have always been an athlete, growing up playing team sports like basketball and soccer. I also ran in a couple of 10K races every year, so I had no reason to worry about running a 5K...right?

After I left the running store, I couldn't stop thinking about the sprint tri and how much of a challenge it would be for me. So instead of joining a gym, I started riding my bike and it felt great.

A product review of the Louis Garneau Tri Air Triathlon Shoe. After nearly two years of testing, see how this shoe performed. Currently being replaced by the Tri Air 2.

I couldn’t help but feel that the race had beaten me. Perhaps duathlons were more for me? No, I was more determined than ever to succeed. I was determined to get on top of my swimming.

This life of mine is not so different from yours. It has a multitude of similarities. I suffer from uncertainty, I get nervous at the thought of registering and when getting to the starting line.

I am not going to buy a tri-suit before my first tri - I want to make sure I am going to stick with this before I spend a lot of money on it so I want to figure out what will work best.

I couldn't believe that my splits kept getting lower! I started to run harder after I passed the "5 km" sign and picked a few people that I wanted to pass.
