  • Comments: I love the Dallas Athletes events. I did most of them this year. Well organized and run with just enough entertainment. I wish there were more athletes participating! 1 request would be to change the out buoys on the swim to orange and the back to yellow. I understand that is not nautically correct but it's easier to see orange than yellow when looking into the sun.

  • Comments: I wasnt impressed with the pancakes they were serving up post race, but there was a booth there that had some mixed fruit with nuts in it that was just awesome! Other than that, Dallas Athletes puts on a great race and that is why I continue to do their events. They are always well run and well supported.

  • Comments: Started right on time. Lots of volunteers at the aid stations. Race officials were out patrolling the bike course on motorcycles. Live band at the end.

  • Comments: I'm not a fan of the disposable chips they introduced at this race. While I agree with them in concept, there seemed to be several errors. In our group, the chip didn't register the end of the bike leg, so I officially have a 10K split of 2:51:35. NOT. Otherwise, another typically entertaining and well run race by Dallas Athletes. Also, my two teammates had a blast and are eager to do another one. SUCCESS!

  • Comments: Top 10 in my AG which was my goal (last year was 13th). Good race. Placed much higher in the run (7) compared to last year (17). Swim navigation just killed me. I was 4 minutes slower than last year, but it's always hard to tell based on the distance changes. This is the last year in the 35-39 AG so we'll see how I do next year when I turn 40.

  • Comments: nice race. If Texasman is this same course, it might be something for me to do and see if I can better my time. Plus, I don't have a Sept. race on my schedule as of yet.

  • Comments: I'm happy with my race time, but it sticks in my craw that all the distances were short. I was trying to make a good comparison to CapTex to see how I've progressed, but I can't if all the distances are off. It's a little OCD of me I know, but I'd like as close to the exact race specs as I can. I changed the distances on the RR to reflect what I actually got on my Garmin. The race is decent and the aid stations were more well-placed than last year(trust me, I appreciate this improvement), but this is a long drive for an event. I'm not so sure I'm willing to make this trek again next year. Getting up at 3:45am sucks balls.

  • Comments: I had a good time, it wasn't anything special, but it seemed organized and safe. Would've liked some better aid stations and post-race food. Also, getting nice some nice treats in the race packet is always a plus. It was exactly what I expected and I had a great time. Look forward to the group's next race in September and hope to meet some more BTers at the next event.

  • Comments: Good race. This was my first DSU race. Nice venue. Good course. I'll be back to race Texas Man in September. My only complaint would be the distances - why not make it standard Olympic distances - 1500m, 40k, 10k. I think the bike course was longer than the 23 miles they said it was. And why 1500 yards?

  • Comments: Well organized by Dallas Athletes. The schwag of shirt and hat were good, the set up of the race and volunteers/transition area was very nice--they even had people spraying feet after the swim. The award ceremony was somewhat disorganized, and I'd like something other than just pizza/watermelon after a race, and there wasn't much of that as the Sprinters and spectators had consumed most of it by the time the Oly folks finished. Need to limit spectators eating the food and add in something like bagels and bananas. But seriously, no big issue. The race was fun, the announcer was good, and I really really enjoyed it. So many great BT'ers at this race, and I know I didn't get to meet all of you. Getting to meet Marcy in person was great too. Big thanks to Hotel Gary and Taxi Bonny...and thanks to all the BT'ers that said hi, can't wait to see y'all again. Congrats to all the hardware winners out there too!!

  • Comments: DA puts on great events. I love racing the evil toad and it's great to have the other Murph's out too for once. If SoMo would show it would be icing on the tri-cake. Congrats to Jen on a great Oly and unreal improvement! I barely escaped my 1st place wife again. Congrats Z on another great race! You are amazing!

  • Comments: This was a fun race and I would do it again. The course was nice (aside from the chipseal on part of the course) and the support was good. It's like a BT union every time I race around here and that makes this whole triathlon business that much more enjoyable. Thank you to everyone who cheered me on, heckled me, cat-called me, kicked me in the swim, got passed by me on the bike, passed me on the run and encouraged me in the final fun through the finishing chute. Oh, if you make it over to Jeepfleebs album, he took some awesome shots of a lot of the racers and the dude can take a picture. If you do view his album, and I highly recommend you do, look toward the beginning of the slide show for a wonderful shot of me applying glide to my left nipple. True poetry.
