There’s a chance I might be moving to KC (MO or Kansas) sometime in the next year b/c of work and would probably be there a few years…
Wanted to know what the tri scene was like as far as races, training clubs and good shops…career comes first, but I can’t go without a good LBS and will need to make new friends.
Any locals or people with knowledge - I’d appreciate help!
Thanks.
I live in St. Louis MO, so I am not sure about the KC tri scene but a great race you should do is the Race for Sight Sprint Tri in Columbia, MO (about an hour or so east of KC). That race is usually the first weekend in May and is a good early season workout. The Ultramax is a half and full Ironman distance race in September and are in the Ozarks, a bit south of KC. I have never done that one but the area hosting them is just gorgeous (very hilly though!)
Good luck!
www.trikc.com I think is the site
www.trifind.com races won’t be up until Jan/Feb 2004

There is a tri club in KC as they had an aid station at Ultramax. They were a great bunch of folks!
