  • Comments: Great early season race. There are a lot of first timers, but still some good competition. The race ran on time and was well organized. Distances are way off on the swim and the bike. Will definitely do this next year. Overall I am happy with my first podium finish, but still disappointed about that swim (coulda, woulda, shoulda I guess).

  • Comments: Course was awesome! Swimming in the springs was fantastic and the run course kept my interest. Bike would have been better if I hadn't crashed early. Organization could have been better. Very few people knew what side of bouys they had to swim to. After my bike crash I remarked to the student volunteers (that were all chatting together at the turn) that someone should come up before the turn to let people know it was coming. All I got was a smart remark. Transition area was unsecure, which was a little disoncerting and post race was pretty tame. Can't complain about the price although I would pay much more for better organization.

  • Comments: i really enjoy this race, especially with the course change. the swim is awesome b/c of the clear spring water and fish swimming around you. i like out and back bikes on shorter races and the run has a big hill that really challenges you.

  • Comments: Overall a great race. Impressive given that the race director is a university student and organized by the school triathlon club. It's a fundraiser for the club. I like that they changed the run course to include that big hill, though that might not be a plus for everyone. Lots of friendly volunteers, mostly college students. This is a definite "must" triathlon due to the uniqueness of the swim venue.

  • Comments: Disorganized post race. Little food/water and No trash cans to be found. It is the little things. The venue is amazing but they could pay a little attention to the finishing touches and make the race that much better.

  • Comments: First Podium and hardware!!!!! I was pretty excited when I saw the timesheet that I came in 3rd for my AG and just as excited to be 28th overall. I definitely have room for improvement and can't wait to get back into the swing of training. 2nd place was 5:30 ahead of me so I doubt even without my issues that I could have snagged that but still super excited with the results I got. Overall great way to start the season.

  • Comments: The draw for this race is location and the swim. Proceeds support the Texas State University Triathlon team. Seidel Productions organized the race in conjunction with the University Tri Team. But most of the volunteers were college kids. Sometimes they were ‘with it’ some times they were not. I am sure this was a good experience for them. Don’t expect bells and whistles from this race. All in all it was a good race. It fit our schedule and our budget. Well, with the exception of the new tires.

  • Comments: The great thing about this race is the swim. The race is worth doing just to swim in such clear water! Lots of volunteers on the ride and run, so mistakes were hard to make. No security in the transition area. Guys with expensive bikes were probably worried. Plenty of food afterwards, though I'm not sure people knew where it was. In the food area there was only warm soft drinks to drink. The race benefits the Texas State University Triathlon Club. I think the triathlon was organized by college students this year (previously by Seidel Productions). Overall, I think they did a good job.

  • Comments: I liked the course, the bike was really rough as they are tearing up the road. Next year should be nice. I did like the race (only sprint I will do this year) but I am still angry at volunteers for not helping with direction and allowing me to go off course. But ultimately that was my fault.
