  • Comments: The perfect weather sure helped make this a good event. By the time I made it over to the food area, there were only glazed donuts left. I sure hope they had food set aside for when the HIM athletes finished. I would be really upset to spend 5-7 hours racing and not have any post-race food.

  • Comments: It would have been nice to get a medal or a dry fit shirt, in fact when I crossed the finish line I was thinking "which one of the girls has my medal?" I guess none of them did - but that's ok - I had fun and met my goals so it's all good.

  • Comments: I have to hand it to Dallas Athletes. I was feeling really disappointed with their races up to this point, but I think they did a great job with this one. Lots of volunteers. Most of them knew what they were doing...except for the lady going into the TA who wanted to see the bar ends on my tri bike:) I was so proud of Steve who did so great for his first Oly! It was great to met some new BT'ers.

  • Comments: Much better performance for Dallas Athletes than Disco. Still a little disorganized for my tastes. I'll take Iron Jack and his "grumpy attitude" any day.

  • Comments: I'm giving DA a break on starting the swim late since they more than made up for it by having more potties and water stations. Plus, they got those buoys out in a hurry and that small delay didn't seem to mess anything up. Nice touch to have the color guard.

  • Comments: I think we were abit late starting but not much. Lots of very helpful volunteers and drink stations. The Pizza was gone when I went to get it I guess that is more incentive to go faster.

  • Comments: Great venue, with a rolling hill bike course and a partially shaded run course. The roads are a bit rough in some parts, but a very enjoyable event. I thought the volunteers were great, and there was surprisingly little chaos even though 3 different events were going on. They need to really keep the athletes on the left side at that crazy water station, though. Cross traffic occurs once the athletes switch sides. The organizers also need more water at the end of the race, though!!! There were not bottles of anything left, and the water jugs were set well back and unlabeled. I hope they found more before the half-iron finishers came in.
