  • Comments: This is a good race, and I'll probably do it again in the future, but that's really only because it's local to me. Personally, I don't think I'd travel to race Galveston 70.3

  • Comments: Pretty disappointing post-race food....and the women's small shirt is closer to a medium/large, so I'm basically swimming in it. The race, itself, was good, but the extras that you come to expect from an Ironman branded race were disappointing this time around.

  • Comments: Very fun race. Great people, volunteers, racers, etc. Well run, even if the registration taking 2 hours was not ideal, and a nice venue. I even didn't mind the short loops on the run (three more... two more... last time around!). Likely will be back yearly.

  • Comments: The volunteers at this race were incredible. I tried to thank every single one I passed and did so until I was in survival mode on the second half of the run. The bike course is amazing. Loved every minute of it. The run course left a lot to be desired. Too many turn arounds and bends and too many spectators having to cross in front of racers.

  • Comments: Since I was in one of the last waves, a lot of the post-race activities were being taken down as I finished. Tents were coming down, etc. Lots of volunteers on the course. They did a great job of handing off at the bike aid stations. The only negative comment I have is that there were too many spectators walking across the run course with no regards to approaching runners. I had to avoid several people who didn't even realize that they were in the way. Didn't enjoy the multi-loop run course, although it did allow for me to see teammates and friends along the way. Overall, I enjoyed this race but I don't plan on doing it again next year.

  • Comments: Definitely a great race at a great location. This was my first 70.3 and I have done this every year with this being my 4th time. It's also convenient since it's just about a 5 hr drive away so no need to fly.

  • Comments: Third time to do this race. Will never miss it and really enjoyed it this year! I kept thinking it was going to be partially cancelled or all of it. The weather was crazy but I enjoyed it because how often do you get to race in these types of conditions.

  • Comments: The only thing I didn't like was getting out bikes out. It took just a little bit but we had to wait to cross the run path. I would have liked to get my gear and leave once I was ready. Had this been a body crushing race, I wouldn't want to wait around. Everything else, went amazing.

  • Comments: The only issue I had was with the weather and that should not have any reflection o the Ironman organization. Despite the very challenging conditions, they did a fantastic job with respect to safety and providing information to the athletes. I would definitely do this race again, and again.......

  • Comments: This was my first 1/2 Iron distance race and first race ever to attend that was an Ironman. I was thoroughly impressed with the organization, the activities, the exhibit, and the volunteers. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and will make this an annual race.

  • Comments: The event was pretty organized. Other than the run, the course layout worked well. The race swag wasn't anything to write home about, but I guess I paid for the IRONMAN branding not the goodies. Despite a very difficult run, I still managed to make my unofficial time goal of 6-6.5 hours. Ultimately, I am now an IRONMAN 70.3 finisher and proud of it! A big thank you to Keri for her support and encouragement throughout all my training and on race day. And I couldn't have done it without Jesus on race day, guiding me and encouraging me every step of the way! Thanks for reading.

  • Comments: I really like the bike course (smooth and flat!) and the 3 loop run course around Moody Gardens. I thought it was well planned and executed too. The swim was good too, although I didn't care for all the salt in my mouth. Overall a really good race, and I would do it again.

  • Comments: Awesome experience, well organized staff and volunteers. Very supportive city, and a really fun course. Overall, I have nothing to complain about. I went in for the experience and to finish. I learned a lot, and I now know tons of things that will help me for my next half. And that one, I'll have goals! Big goals. I have expectations now!
