  • Comments: pushed a little too hard in the swam and swallowed some water.. gave me a bit og a gut ache during the bike, didn't recover and level my head before getting on the bike.. started off too fast and really had a poor bike.. got it back a little bit on the run but stull had a slower than hoped pace... overall time not bad, it did really hot which played a factor, but could have planned this out better.,

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Awards were canceled due to timing issues. Results now say I won my AG, but I have yet to receive any info about my awards. A couple 30-34 from the OPEN wave beat my time. Perhaps our times were combined. Don't really care as I will probably not do this race again. Think I say that every year though.

  • Comments: My biggest issue with the race this year was the timing results. I left for the hotel after 12:00 and they still had not been posted. When the results were posted they were wrong. (Off by 4 minutes on the swim) They did get them corrected, though. I do like this race and will, probably, do it again. Just not next year, IMTX. 25 out of 77 puts me at the back of the front :) moving up

  • Comments: I won't be back to this race. It's like the organizers didn't care about anyone but the pros/elites (who had carpet down around their sandy transition area). They also ran-out of finishers towels before I could get one. But mostly, and I'll quit complaining about the race organization, the heat in Austin is just too much. Maybe if they held this in early April. But the final straw was the horribly huge transition. It was just awful. Horrible. Nasty. Crowded. It was fun swimming in the river and riding the streets of downtown Austin. Next time I return to Austin it will be to enjoy their music and art scene, though. Very hip city.

  • Comments: This race has gone downhill every year. Registration was a mess. Body marking was a mess in the morning. They never closed transition and people were in transition when the pro's started. Timing was completely screwed up. The Open Wave was supposed to start at 7:14 and we all got in the water and they told us we wouldn't start until 7:28 so we all went for another short warmup and then sat on the dock as we tried to figure out why they were waiting so long. At least I got a warmup swim in.
