Registered for state number 46

I will be visiting Kansas for the first time ever (I think) to run state number 46 May 20th.  This will mark my third time flying into Kansas City International airport to travel to a race.  I believe that breaks a tie for the arrival airport for races for me!  Not to be outdone by arrivals, I will be departing out of Baton Rouge for the first time for a race.  Given the fact that I'm not much further from Baton Rouge's airport than New Orleans and that I'd be connecting with either airport, price was the deciding factor in my selecting Baton Rouge.

I'll be running Five Trails Half Marathon in Leavenworth, Kansas.  It is a small event run on a loop course with easy parking.  I am leaning towards smaller races with efficient race logistics these days.  While Rock n Roll and Disney type large events with transportation needed to and/or from the start and finish are exciting and appealing, I go through phases where events where trying to not get lost due to so few participants on the coursse are just as appealing.
