  • Comments: I admit being a little skeptical of how this was going to come together. But the logistical issues of point-to-point were mostly handled well. Police and volunteer support were outstanding. The time-trial swim start wasn't too bad, the bike was decently challenging, and the run in downtown and around Reunion was enjoyable. Having the pros there was cool I guess, though I honestly didn't pay much attention to them, except for when they were passing very nearby, headed the other way on the run. The special VIP section irked me a little, just on principle. The venue was one of the better ones, especially post-race, with athletes lounging on the hill, listening to the band and chatting. The entry fees were pretty pricy. That might keep me away next year, although I have no regrets about having it done it this first time. All-in-all, a good event

  • Comments: Great event. Well organized. Lots of volunteers. Lots of traffic control and police on the bike course. Great post race party. This event compares to the NAS and WTC events.

  • Comments: Logistics went far smoother than I expected. Incredible number of volunteers and traffic controllers on the bike course. Fantastic post- race activities. It was also interesting to have so many pros present, but I really never saw them.

  • Comments: Great, great, great race! I wanted to do 2:32+transitions. That's exactly what I did. I swam at my goal pace, biked at my goal pace and ran faster than my goal pace. Tack on transitions and voila! Last race of the year, can't wait to start offseason and get ready for a great 2008!!! I was one of the race's biggest skeptics. I didn't think they could pull it off. I was way, way wrong. It was an AMAZING race. So well run, well put together. Amazing volunteer support, very well put together.

  • Comments: The only issue with this race was the road surface quality and the Dallas drivers who made it a bit scary by not listening to the cops. Toyota did a great job of traffic control at EVERY SINGLE INTERSECTION including volunteers at parking lot driveways to keep cars from cutting across us. Even with all that, I saw some pretty sad bike accidents, and had a flat myself which I blame on the road b/c my tire blew out fast.

  • Comments: One negative comment . . . there was no bike support on the course. I didn't need it, but it didn't leave me with a very good feeling knowing I was on my own out there if anything should happen. Also, there were apparently several bad crashes on the bike course. I've heard of at least two that involved cars. That rather surprises me, given the amount of police and volunteers on the road. Still, it seems most everyone had a pretty good time.
