  • Comments: Aside from the weather, which is uncontrollable, I think that this race is a very good one. I've heard a few complaints about lack of volunteers, but that is not what I experienced. There were volunteers everywhere there needed to have been one. i thought that they did an excellent job!

  • Comments: I had lots of fun. The harsh conditions actually were a motivatior for me. I feel sorry for all the people who did this race as their first tri (there were alot) I would have given up had it been my first, haha. Overall, it was good, and I am really proud of my top 10 finish in my age group. Not bad for an ex-clyde in his first year. :)

  • Comments: I am not sure that I will do this race again. Don't want to be negative, I had fun but I wish there were more people directing the bikers and the runners. Several times I did not if I was going the right way. Saw one person go off track and had to u-turn. Loved the run course though.

  • Comments: It's clear that Dallas Athletes has better support and a lot more fun atmosphere. Jack Weiss isn't known to focus on fun which is fine but the vlounteer support here was not great. I think the weather contributed to the overall negative comments I was hearing out there but on a dry day I think this is a good race.

  • Comments: Ironhead always puts on decent races. They are consistently OK. There was lots of food - bannanas, oranges, pizza, spaghetti, coffee, honey buns. The Kawanias are the owners of the race. They did a great job with the vonlunteer part of the event.
