  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Despite coming in last in my Age group I did come in. And that was my goal I had a very short training period leading up to the race and I knew I was very very limited in my fitness. So I rate this race as a good race even with the poor finishing time.I am back into triathlon and will build from this point.

  • Comments: On my calender for the next 8 months is 2 x 70.3s and my first full Ironman. That said I was not trained for a short distance course. I did this race because it was in my own backyard and my club put it on. That said I had a blast but the intensity that I gave I was not prepared for. This one hurt! Had a blast but my training continues today for my A race which is Ironman Longhorn 70.3 in 5 weeks I beat my time 12 months ago by 15 minutes! Nice improvement on a sprint distance course

  • Comments: Great race as usual. These guys do and awesome job and really care about the outcome of the race. The course is great and the atmoshpere is even better. This is one of those races I don't think I will ever miss. It was my first triathlon 3 years ago so it holds a special place in my hear. I went back and looked at my time from 3 years ago and I have shaved right at 15 minutes off.

  • Comments: This is a first-class race. Well organized, lots of volunteers, huge tent so lunch and ceremonies aren't in the direct sun, incredible food catered by Ricks, great live music in the tent, a rose for every racer, etc. Most other races will be a disappointment after this one!

  • Comments: The race was great. There were plenty of volunteers and everyone was super happy even thought it rained the entire time. I think this race will end up being one of the premier races in this area moving forward. This was my first race to do for the second time. I beat last years time by 12 minutes. I love it.

  • Comments: The family and I had an awesome time. The rain did not stop the coordinators from getting the job done. I would recommend this tri to anyone. Tyler is a great place and everyone was helpful and friendly. Thanks East Texas Triathletes and Sponsors. See you next year!

  • Comments: I was the sixth overall female...four of the six in front of me I knew. I won my AG...which suprised me - I thought for sure my friend that got 2nd in my AG would have gotten it. This was a great race. Of course, I am very biased since it was through my tri club. There were about 140 racers, so it was a small race, but such a fun one! I remembered to get my chip...no bike wrecks..no issues on the swim, and I did ALMOST fall once on the run, but I never actually fell...wow...this was a great race for me!!! See the pics below...William (triritter) got 2nd OA! He did great as well. Like I said...fun race...I will of course do this one again next year...

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: This is the best sprint I have ever participated. Very well organized, very friendly people. Plenty of aid stations, flaggers at every corner. Police officers at every intersection. Some of the best pasta I've ever had post-race. Tons of bagels, oranges, bananas, gatorade, water. Cookies. Cookies. Cookies. :) Post-race massage at a sprint! Probably over-kill, but it's nice to be treated like you're at something special. I'll definitely do this race again next year, if I'm not involved with directing it.
