Race Reports for Blanco Out Back Triathlon

Race rating (4)

Comments: Overall the atmosphere is very good. It is a fun race, especially for first timers. Bring a flashlight because it is very dark almost until 6:30am (race starts at 7am). More volunteers would be nice at 5:30-6:30 am since it is so dark and you kinda guessed as to where to go. Update: 7pm toe is purple

Comments: This is a laid-back local type of race in a pretty venue. It is not exceptionally well-organized... but it's on a SATURDAY, which means I'll probably do it again. Here's a cheesy upside to doing a race without sponsors: the shirt looks pretty good, no field of logos on the back. There's year's is a cute blue-and-blue ringer type of T-shirt, which I can actually wear in Real Life it it shrinks enough.

Comments: When I say, "just right" for my ability, I mean, "just right, because I'm working to build base distance and wanted a good challenge." It was a challenge, but a fun challenge. So even though I came in 186 out of 187 finishers, this was "just right" in my book. For perspective, I checked the results on the "mini" (half the distance, same course) - had I done that race at this pace, I would have come in MOP. But I decided to run with the horses instead. :) The course is through beautiful Texas hill country, and it was a truly gorgeous day. Yeah the run was a little hot, but for someone who trains in Texas anyway not so bad. Bottom line: I made my goals (no walking, finish) and had a blast!
