  • Comments: Great race! I liked the volunteers positioned along the bike course in two's. The water stations were always ready when I came by on the run with cups in hand. The race packet was very thorough; maybe a little too much but great for beginners, but very organized. Parking morning of was very well done. Positive atmosphere and lots of portapotties available. Toilet paper may need to be checked a few times but evey good triathlete should be prepared for anything, right! I will definately try and do it again next year. I'm curious with a year under my belt (after 3 years off before that) will make a difference. Exciting to think about...

  • Comments: I really liked the size of this race. The cap tex was a mad house and it was nice to see my mom cheering me on throughout the course. Wish my wife and son could have made it but she is 38 weeks pregnant so I think I will let it slide this time:)

  • Comments: Since this is my hometown tri, I'll do it every year. The carpet from the swim exit to transition and the cold, wet towel at the end were wonderful additions. I think this will just keep getting better and better each year. The only downside to that is that I think the field will also keep getting more and more competitive. One of these days, I want to place in my age group!

  • Comments: This was a very good race, especially considering that it's only in its second year. They had a lot of sponsors who provided lots of amenities. As far as sprints go, I'll try to make this a regular event for me.

  • Comments: Overall a great race, great venue, especially for first timers. Yes the roads have some rough patches but overall a nice bike course, lots of rolling hills to challenge you. Post race was ok but this is a smaller race and didn't expect that IM feel. Looking foward to next year.

  • Comments: This was a well organized and well planned race. The starts were on time and not chaotic. The RD is a great guy and he did a great job. The volunteers were also nice and helpful. I would have liked to seen one more water station on the run. Two water stations for a June run in TX with no shade is tough. The post race food was a little weak but I didn't come here to eat so it's minor to me. Overall, it was a great little race! Well done! The competition was tougher than I thought it would be but I'll be back again next year!

  • Comments: This is the second year for the LPT and it showed improvement, even after a first year success. Home Depot donated some outdoor green carpet to line the swim exit from the lake to the transition area and it made a difference. The event ran on time, wasn't crowed and was well marked (even though I could do the course with my eyes closed), and had good post race stuff. The ONLY complaint I have is no race medal. I could do without the t-shirt but for some reason I am stuck on wanting a race medal. I will definitely do this race every year since it's basically in my backyard and my training area.

  • Comments: There were only 2 water stations for the entire race (both on the run). I wouldn't have used it, but would've been nice to see one on the bike course. Not really much going on after the race. Snacks only consisted of water/gatorade, popsicles, crackers, and bananas. At least that is all I saw. Would've liked to have seen more kayakers on the water. This is my first race so I really can't compare, but the course was really well laid out and a fun route. I will definitely try to do it again next year.

  • Comments: I love this race! And I did a personal best by more than a minute! WOO HOO!!! This is an ideal course and a nice small race so it's a great opportunity to really see what I can do and where I am. I'd like to podium someday, but apparently the word got out about this course and the field was MUCH more competitive this year. Still, I'm extremely pleased with my overall performance.
