  • Comments: Now. About the time lost in T1, and on the bike fiddling with my shades: I was 1:02 from placing 9th in my age group, and 2:13 from placing 7th. Had I not lost that time I would have finished in the top ten of my age group, and maybe an outside chance of pacing 7th! Lessoned learned!! This was the first race in McKinney put on by Ironhead. It was everything you could expect from an Ironhead race: well organized, with a lot of shouting. The bike and run course was probably more challenging than any other race I've done in DFW, so it was fun. The only complaint that I have is with the safety of the bike course. There were way too many blind driveways and curves. There were a couple downhills that I hit 30mph, and if a car were to have come to the end of their drive there was no way they could have seen me coming in time to stop. The blind driveways were mainly due to people not cleaning up their property. But remember, this is the country!

  • Comments: For a first-year race, this one was very well done. Everything was organized and on-time. The bike course was technical, which I liked, and the run course was pleasant. Plenty of volunteers and support from the city. As expected from Jack, no real festivities at the event; however, the pasta was a nice change for food, and the technical shirts were nice swag. Good venue.
