KS70.3 packet pick up line
Tomorrow is the second annual IMKS 70.3 in Lawrence, Kansas. We spent about 3 hours at Clinton Lake doing quite a bit of walking and waiting. Walking from the althete parking to the Expo site. Waiting in line for almost an hour for packet pickup. Walking another 1/2 mile or so to the T1 to rack the bike, then walking all the way back to the car. Today was a gold medal TriSupporter day.
As for the race, this year the race is still at Clinton Lake but it is different in many ways and not different in one.
While the tri is at Clinton Lake, it is at a different part of the lake, has a different bike and run and includes two transition areas about 1/3 mile apart.
As you can see in the photo, the weather is threatening thunderstorms which is what cut short the race last year. Let's hope the weather holds out till the last athlete crosses the finish line.
Good luck to all of you racing tomorrow!!
Ding, ding
"Today was a gold medal Trisupporter day."
Now that is interesting. The Bell Lady (author of this blog) failed to mention that after we reached the packet pick up line and were waiting for 20 minutes, we discovered The Bell Lady took my wallet out of her purse and left it in the car. I needed my ID for the packet pick up. Apparently my wallet was too heavy for The Bell to carry. So, I walked back 1 mile to the car and jogged back 1 mile. All in time to reach her while still in line.
Well, The Bell Lady is getting up early to go to the Tri with me so I can't complain too much.
