Well - the Win for KC Tri is over and I had a blast... There are definitely some aspects of the race that I did not like, compared to the Olathe Medical women's tri that I did last year, but all in all it was a fun race....
For starters, the road that we raced on was horrible - pot holes and really bumpy... And whoever told me the race was flat - was lying to me... Not flat at all... Also, I love the aspect of young girls racing in the race and I hope that some day Emily will do the same thing... BUT Mother's - father's teach your daughter's how to ride in an event like this... there was a young lady - maybe 14 years old that held up traffic because she was riding in the middle of the road... Stay to the right - that way cars can pass.. I lost valuable seconds because I had to go around a car that couldn't go around her....
Also - consider shutting down the roads... I also lost valuable seconds because of a stupid semi truck driver.....
The last thing that I didn't enjoy is that the women weren't as talkative. Yes there were many that were supportive, but I swear in the Olathe Medical women's tri there was just much more talking..... and cheering...
Here are my official results....
I was 356 over all out of 850
I was 84 out of 136 for the 35-39 age category
I finished the swim in 12:31 (500 meters)
I finished the bike in 37:56 (10 miles)
I finished the run in 38:54 (5k) (12:33 min mile)
I finished the event in 1:32:58
Now I have about 40 days - give or take a day until the Olathe Medical Women's tri... I can't wait.
About Me
- Rebecca
- Olathe, Kansas, United States
- My name is Rebecca DeMoss-Koeneke and I am originally from Iowa City, Ia, that is why I say I am an Iowa girl at Heart... I have lived in the KC metro area for almost 20 years. Since moving to KC, I married the most wonderful man in the world, Trey. For 3 years, he was a stay at home dad. Which was great for me. But in late 2010 he went back to work. That has been nice too, but required a lot of change on my part... I have two awesome kids. Peyton 7 and Emily 4. And 9 year old Border Collie Lab mix named Sinjin..... This blog will be for me to document several different things.... first of all my goal at a more healthy life. In March of 08 I began a new chapter of my life. I quit some bad habits and started Weight Watchers and working out. March 08 started out at 200lbs. By March 09 I had lost 30 lbs... In September of 09 I ran my first Triathlon. 2. I will also post updates about my family including pictures.... Unfortunately in 2010 I gained a lot of weight back, so 2011 will be another year of getting that weight off. My goal is to loose 30 lbs. Also in 2011 I am going to participate in more tris, dus and half marathons...
