• Comments: I felt this was a solid race that was well-organized. I thought they handled the unexpected temps and rain well. However, the buses were a cluster - some athletes didn't arrive until after 8am due to the buses and lack of them. Buses and shuttles are always a cluster at any event so they should have planned for this and handled it correctly (more buses - spaced appropriately). Also, I did not like the bike course - it is through some of the worst parts of town with roads that I don't think are fun - it's not scenic. But it does allow starting at JPL which is a good venue for parking and transition. The tech shirt (thank you for red and not white!), finisher medal and towel were expected quality. Could have used more goodies and less paper in the bag. Overall a solidly put on race but I can't see this being a 'destination' race for anyone. The finish was great but I always hate when they have events in Victory Plaza where awards were -- that tiny space between buildings I just think

• Comments: Sounds like there were shuttle issues this year, which should not happen in third year of race. And still have rough spots on bike course. But it is a very well run race overall, and the premiere event in the DFW area. They put a lot of time, effort and thought into this race, and it pays off with a smoothly run first class event.

• Comments: This is the only race so far that I've repeated - I like it alot. The finish for the Toyota/Lifetime Pro series makes it exciting and you get to see the stars of the sport up close and personal. The event is very well organized - I think there was an issue with not enough buses available this year to get everyone down to the swim, but overall they do a great jog of handling the logistics of a big point-point race with tons of amateurs and major pro prize purse. Only giving it 4 instead of 5 due to the bus issue. The weather didn't cooperate this year, but the race can't be held accountable for that. Hoping to come back here next year - unfortunately may end up forcing myself to do the sprint again to see if I can place ;-)
